Ideas for dog with bladder urgency/ control problems

Thanks May
Yes i agree on the wetroom and not stressing her.. she gets upset when she puddles in the house anyway and has to be reassured.. she is a rescue and still carries some of the nasty stuff from her first few years.
With puppy pads.. do you just spread them everywhere.. or can dogs be encouraged to wee on the pad ? ive never had a puppy always rescued our dogs and they've been mostly house trained. Our little dog is still house trained but urgency and frequency are an issue.
Getting up two hourly is sadly not sustainable for either of her sets of humans in long term.. both sets have disabilities, medication etc that make that unsustainable. But she is part of the family and we want to do the right thing for her.
I am wondering about making a "puppy pen" for bedtime.. some folding fencing and setting her bed up in an area with puppy pads down in each house .. but also dont want to upset her by not letting her out, and moving her bed out of our bedroom when she has always slept in the same room and takes herself to bed before her humans.
She really is a lovely and loving little dog.. a bit older, deafer, creakier and leakier but still full of wags, love and shes happy..1 -
We've always had cats but I was thinking would a litter tray work ?
After searching it seems there are dog litter trays on Amazon.
Maybe worth a try ?0
