I have 2 Shih Tzu dogs 8 years old, they are housetrained and ask to go out when we are home, when we leave them alone during the day they are having accidents in the house, I am not sure what to do about it since it only happens when we are not home. any ideas?
Is there anyway you could put a doggie door in your house. These are great at letting your dog's choose when they need to go out
Other than that you could try and install a piece of artificial turf or astroturf in the house that you can train them to use when you are not home. This is a bit messier than the first method but does work.
If neither of these are possible you may have to try and sneak home at lunchtime to let them out
