My dog uses a doggy door but still pees inside. How to stop it?

Question

I adopted a year old Maltese mix male a year ago. He came from an animal hoarder. He uses a doggy door, but also has accidents in house on rug in foyer, on two of his beds, & the wooden floor in foyer. How can I get him to go potty outside ONLY? I adopted a 5 year old abused Bichon Frise 10 months ago, & she had had NO accidents since learning to use the doggy door. Yesterday they came in from groomer. Female went out to pee. Male went to his bed & peed on it right in front of us! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 13 lbs

This may be a difficult situation to remedy and it is possible that Benny may never be truly trust worthy in the house. Your best option to start is to begin crate training.

I hope this helps.
