Congratulations, it’s a huge relief when you are able to leave for a few hours and don’t have to crate them! Mine is in her twilight years and has reverted to not being able to recognize when she has to go, now. It took about a month to de-train her from hiding under the desk in whatever dog emotion approximates shame. Thank goodness for carpet cleaners and enzymatic sprays!
That’s so heartbreaking. We went through similar in the past year with our late lab and it crushed me every time because she clearly hated going in the house but couldn’t help it.

Sorry you lost your pup, labs are such great dogs! The only thing I hate about dogs is that they don’t live longer than people.
