During Buddy's* last months he was increasingly incontinent. It had been that he had a spot that he favored, on a old vinyl floor that was due to be replaced anyway, so we just finally resigned ourselves to cleaning up after him.

We have had a similar problem with indoor peeing (on the part of our pets, I mean -- we, of course, pee inside, but we have an apparatus for that.) Emma, our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel female, has had a problem that way for the past four years, and we tried all sorts of training thingies to train her.
After her latest round of veterinary tests, our vet told us that she had ruled out physiological causes, and the problem was clearly behavioral. I started to explain, again, how we have tried and tried and tried to alter her behavior.
The vet interrupted, and said, "YOUR behavior, not hers."
To make a too-long-already story short, changing Emma's feeding time from 6pm to noon (which, luckily, we can do) fixed everything. Her issue (heh, heh), we had stubbornly thought, was night, when it turns out to have been more of a metabolism clock thing.
Anyway, she's good now, so are we, and we have reason #349 to thank God for Pergo.
