Ok, so I have two dogs and they have been just fine at home during the day with and with out us for several years. Recently they are pooping in the basement on a regular basis, sometimes even when we are home and they have had access to going outside. We had a room mate who moved out in June, he lived in the basement with his dog, but we have shampooed the carpets since then, several times now actually. I am also expecting my first baby any day now. So I don't know if they are throwing attitude or what the problem is. Any suggestions or insight as to how we can possibly break this new routine with them would be appriciated. Thanks!
