We're not wanting to use a crate in the bedroom, but he is confined to the kitchen downstairs which is all tiled. Even if we're gone for an hour, and we take him out to wee and poo before we leave, we still come back to atleast one pee on the floor. It doesn't seem to be a matter of wether he can hold it or not, it's just that he goes where ever he can, and won't give us any indication before he does it (no noise, going to the door, sniffing around, etc.)

I have brought home a 9 week old Husky X Border Collie, and initially he was really good with housetraining and only had 1 or 2 accidents on the tiles. Now whenever we leave the house or go to bed, we come back to find poo and wee all over the house. He has a puppy pad near the door that he was using well for the first few days, but now he's just ignoring it. Even when we let him out to wee and poo just before we leave the house, he still leaves wee and poo everywhere, even after being gone for only 2 hours. During the night he also cries as soon as we leave him alone downstairs. He whines and howls and throws himself against the baby gate we have installed to keep him from coming upstairs. We've tried to ignore it hoping he settles down, but after half an hour he keeps going and we're worried the neighbours will start complaining soon. He is always left with plenty of treats and toys, but nothing seems to distract him from crying while we are out of sight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
