My RB male terrier Sandy was incontinent the last couple of years he was with us. He was completely housebroken but whenever he'd sleep he'd "leak". Drugs didn't work on him and I wasn't a big fan of the possible side effects. Instead I purchased baby diapers and put those on him when we weren't home or he was laying on the bed or carpet. A friend and the vet also recommended using baby crib pads on the furniture. They're designed to catch pee, thin, and washable. We'd lay them all over the sofa's so even if he didn't have the diaper on it wasn't an issue. Females, it's even easier, you can purchase the diapers people use for female dogs in heat, just get a few so you can wash them and still have one available. Just be sure to remove them before you let her out to go potty or she might get the idea it's okay to use those to take care of business in. With mine, since he was a male I had to be a little more creative.
