Oh, I know that can be tough... I was so proud of my dog because he stuck to just one pee pad in the kitchen and could roam between the kitchen and the bedroom. Then one day, I saw him pee and right after poop in the middle of the bedroom... Weird because those weren't even spots where he used to have his pads. Then he snuck up to the bathroom and peed on the rug.

When I first got him I tried crate training, I made the crate so small and he still pooped in it, it usually ended up all over him and he had baths almost every day. So I switched for xpen. He doesn't have accidents if he's confined to the kitchen, but I can't trust him in other parts of the apartment. And he hates being outside if it's cold/windy/raining (I'm so excited thinking about the snow
)... It makes it tough to hang out and wait for him to potty outside when all he wants is coming back inside... Sorry, I guess I needed to vent a little.
