My 1 year old is making me CRAZY. She has always been very good at going potty in her "area" ...(we have a place built for her on our condo patio). Anyway, I crate trained (treats, praise etc) her as a puppy and she caught on very fast and was a very good pottier...UNTIL LATELY. NOW She is peeing and pooping EVERYWHERE. I don't understand it. She never does it when we are around her, but if she is alone, and has a chance, she will go where ever she wants. We have a doggie door...which is open ALL the time...so she really has no reason to. I am beside myself because she sleeps with us everynight and she ACTUALLY PEED IN OUR BED. I couldn't believe it. She has never done that before. I don't know what to do. I did try putting her in her back crate at night but she whines and I don't know if she has to go the bathroom...or if she is just mad! So I am up 2 or 3 times a night...like she's a baby again. It's ridiculous! Anyway, can anyone help? My condo is starting to smell like a litter box!!!! I hope she isn't in a habit I can't break her of. I'm not sure what I did wrong!! HELP!!
