I am definitely not an expert here, but I can tell you what I did when we had Hurricane Rita come through here and it rained all day. I have a 5 1/2 mos old puppy and I knew he would probably not go out in the yard while it was raining, so I went out and got some piddle pads....the brand I got was Wee Wee pads, but you can buy whichever is cheaper (that's what I did). I got the large size actually so that the puppy could walk on it.

Anyhow, I used the piddle pad in the garage and Mocha did really well on it. I think it has a smell on it that makes them go there. Like the sprays you can buy to make a dog go on a certain spot. I've never tried that, but the piddle pad worked really well for that rainy day we had. Mocha took to it really well that day. I'm going to keep some around just in case we have another rainy day.

My 6 year old Sheltie didn't care for the piddle pad....she went out in the rain, but she's also 6 years old and has never been trained on anything but outside.

Give the piddle pads a try.....someone else might have another idea too.
