Previously House Trained Puppy Backsliding

Our 7 month-old, female Lab/Beagle mix is potty trained. However, we've had problems over the past week. It rained once and she refused to go outside and eliminate. When she did go out, she'd go potty on the concrete pad, versus on the grassy area like normal. It's been days since it rained, but she still won't leave the concrete pad and she's started peeing and pooping in the house now.

Please help.

Have you considered putting a potty pad on the patio for times when it rains, or somewhere where the dog doesn't have to step in the wet grass? You could make a four square stepping stone area close to the door where he can go when it is raining, where he doesn't have to get his feet wet.

Some dogs do not like their feet getting wet. Hope some of these links help!

Blessings,
