So my 12 year old Husky has started declining mentally. She had been housebroken since she was a puppy, with only accidents being when she was sick or when she was alone for 10+ hours at a time. She has not been crated in about 8 years, and has had free roam of the house.

Now she has started peeing in the house, even with the back door open and access to outside through her doggy door. We also have a 2 year old toddler. If I leash or crate her, she starts whining and crying loudly, which then makes the kid scream and throw a fit.

How do I break this? How do I get her to stop peeing in the house? I dont want to put her down while she is still physically healthy and hasnt completely lost her mind, but I also have to work during the day and cant have her waking the toddler (and us) at night by crating.
