potty problems

Hi, I hope I can get some advice from some of you out there. Our Pom, Bear was 1 on August 10th. He has started to go to the bathroom in the house after being potty trained for awhile now. I initially thought it was due to one of our cats disappearing (the cat was Bears best friend). Then realized that this behavior started about 4 - 5 weeks before the cat even disappeared. Bear can be outside for 20 minutes and then come in and poop on the carpet. He is not lifting his leg on the furniture (thank goodness) but he is doing his "business" in different parts of the house (i.e. in the bedrooms, on the stairs, the couch). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm at a loss for what to do with the regression of his potty behavior. Thanks, Amy

Put some paper down in a room were he can't get out and tell him to use the bathroom and you go away for about 5 min and see is he use it on the paper and then get it up but don't throw it away take him outside with you and the paper and drop or watse a little elimination were you want him to use it at and let him see you do it.
