There may have been a dog in the house before her, too, who peed on the carpet. This could be why she thinks it's okay to pee there. Cleaning the carpets doesn't get up all the evidence especially for canine noses.

An ex pen is a great idea. We used one for Zoe and had her open crate in it for her bed. That may have been when she fell in love with the crate. The ex pen took up too much room for me, and hubby did not like the look of it, or walking around it. Just have to do what works for you. These are all very good ideas.

Hope all works out well and you get settled and everything the way you want it very soon!!
