Cavalier king Charles Peeing Problem

Question
Hi. I recently adopted a 2 year old female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a family who never socialized her, left her in a house w/ a dog door to the backyard for 10-16 hours a day, etc.  She is a really good girl, she does have anxiety around other dogs but was never around anyone but her owners and only at her house.  She is not spayed, but will be at the end of the month, but was 'house trained' within her little world of home and yard.  Now with me she lives in a apt.   We take her out immediately in the mornings and at least twice throughout the day while running errands and once before bed. We crate her every night and she's trained well into that...

The problem is, that no matter how often we take her outside she pees in the house. And not only on the floor, but her favorite places to sleep, on our clothing if its on the floor, on our rugs on our couch. And DAILY!  We walk her a lot for her size, don't over feed or water,etc. No matter what we do, how often we clean and de-odorize. She pees. On our comforters, pillows, blankets. floor, rugs, carpet, clothing, IN HER CRATE.  We've taken her to the vet and she got a clean bill of health.

What can we do to stop this??? Its driving us crazy and making the fun times with her harder and harder...

Answer
Unfortunately, you have to house train her as you would a young puppy, right from the get go so that you are certain she really is house trained (I suspect she may not be).  I'd like you to get a copy of Patricia McConnell's booklet, "Way to Go".  It's cheap, and a good reference for remedial house training for an adult dog.  The key is really going to be robust supervision - you may even have to tether the dog to you, so that you can watch her at all times and be ready to take her outside at the first hint she has to go.  Avoid punishment!!!  Some dogs only learn that it's "dangerous" to eliminate in front of the human, so they wait and hide their urine.
If you still have difficulty after that, consult with a behaviorist who will take a full history and be able to work with you one on one to find a solution.  Some soiling behaviors are related to status, anxiety, etc. and may require additional interventions.
