Our new pup is only having accidents on carpet. Is the carpet creating a problem for her? What can we do about it?

Hi,

We just got our 23 week old papillon. She took to the crate right away and for 2 weeks now has not had an accident in the crate. She even seems to enjoy her crate time. There have been numerous times that she has gone in during her play time when the crate door was open.

My question is this: She is only allowed in the family area of the house which includes kitchen (which is tiled) and family room (which is carpeted).?We have caught her in the act of relieving herself in the family room (carpet).?Fortunately, we have caught her in time to stop the process and get her outside and all but a time or two she has completed her duties outside. Last week, my husband and I took her camping with us. The camper is all vinyl flooring. For five days and nights, she didn't have a single accident. However, as soon as we got home yesterday, she almost pooped and then almost peed on the carpet. We got her outside in time but I would like to know if the carpet might be creating a problem for her? If so, what can we do about it (other than pull up our carpet and replace with hard flooring)?

Thank you,
Nanette
