How do you keep your dogs from using the bathroom in a high traffic area?

[Edit]

Answer

Typically your dog is NOT going to choose to relieve himself in a high traffic location. If he or she is potty trained already, and is choosing to go somewhere inappropriate simply pick up (or soak up) any product they deposit and move it to a more appropriate location. That said, if one of my dogs started relieving themselves in the middle of a high traffic area (like my front hall, or the walk way in the yard) I would consult my vet - first and foremost. It's NOT a normal behavior, and could have been triggered by illness or pain.
