My sister has a 7 year old springer spaniel - lab mix that has peed in the house from the day brought him home. They got him from the Humane Soc when he was 6 mos old. They found him tied to a beam in a basement. She has tolerated it way more then I could have. Her carpet is ruined. There is a spot she has shampooed so much that it is gummy from the shampoo. She has taken him to the vet b/c I wondered if his bladder was tipped or something but the vet thinks its just a small bladder. He can go for awhile without peeing then if he gets excited he pees (like when he sees me - the favorite auntie). If he gets scared he pees(he has been terrifed of my dad for no reason ever since he came home- we think he was abused by someone that looks or sounds like my dad). He even poops on occasion for no reason.
My brother in law wants to rip out the carpet and put in Pergo but my mom doesn't think this is a good idea. They live in a subdivision so he can't be outside - but he does spend as much time as possible outside. They were letting him have free range of the house - but when he started pooping again - he is confined to the laundry room or his crate.
Any thoughts of what kind of flooring they could put down?
