I have an 8 yr old rescue Doxi; she is from a puppy mill. When it is raining outside she won't go outside. There is a doggy door for them to use and she goes in an out. But when it's raining she will go in the house. She will pee on the carpet right in front of us! Then she potties down the hall, I have put pee pads down for her, sometimes she uses them sometimes she won't. The past few days she has peed on the carpet right in front of us sitting there. I am very frustrated and don't know how to stop this. Can someone please help me. Spanking her hasn't helped and I don't know what else to do. The other dogs don't do this.

If this is a rescue dog, it could mean the dog has some sort of trauma associated with the rain. You can try a few things to stop her from peeing in your home.
It sounds like this dog was left for days outside in the rain and is now afraid of the rain. You will have to teach them there is nothing to be afraid of. Go out with her in the rain and show you are there too and it is fine for her to be in the rain.
