Accidents after Training

Question
my 7 year old chihuahua has been paper trained for years. She has recently begun having accidents. There are no new stresses in the house and I can't figure out what's wrong. What should I do?

Answer
Hello...did you get the dog checked out at a vet to make sure there are no problems? If there arent. then i would say you need to start over crate training. The problem with paper training is that the paper is in the house on the floor but still IN THE HOUSE so some dogs figure out eventually that it is just ok to go in the house. I would check the vet first.
