Would you please address this issue because now my friend has the same problem? ...Read more

Dear Cathy,

I have a 20-month-old male Maltipoo. I can't get him to stop peeing and pooping in the house. He uses the pee pads most of the time.

I have fake grass on the patio, and the door for him ...Read more
