Okay...here's my problem.

My otherwise incredibly sweet 3 year old dog Missie has decided that the only place she will pee or poop is now in the living room.

Same spot day in and day out. She never had this problem when I first got her....

She's in great health...she's active, friendly and (other than this situation) just a great all-around dog. What should I do to correct this?

At wits end and hoping someone has some advice....

Try a complete vet exam before chalking it up to a behavioral problem.

In the meanwhile be sure you are cleaning up the messes with an enzyme cleaner from the pet store. The urine and feces remnants attract bacteria that only dogs can smell, well...most of the time. Anyway, just be sure to follow the directions completely.

If she checks out healthy then I would go back to crating and house training 101.

Yes, what briteday said.
