I'm afraid what Eddie did isn't uncommon at all. Dogs don't always generalize well. Eddie has learned not to pee on the sofa at home but, in his mind, he's not sure that applies to the sofa at another house (especially one that has an odor on it that is just begging to be covered over!).

Really, all we can do is watch them with eagle eyes when they visit someplace different. Or, use belly bands as was suggested.

Are you and Eddie still taking classes? How is that going?
