Training setbacks

Q: Our 4 month old maltipoo did really well at first with the puppeepalace. We attached a play yard to it. She did well with phase 1 and 2. However, she rarely goes poop on the pee pads and is now starting to pee on the carpet. Should we go back to phases 1? Also we have placed pads in each room. Is that a good idea or should she be returning to the pads in the cage and play area to go to the bathroom?

A: You should go back to at least Phase 2 and maybe Phase 1. She cannot be allowed free run or other pads until she is returning to tha pad in the palace reliably for at least 2 weeks.
