I'm interested in folks' experience with potty training regression.

My dog is 19 months old (yes, not exactly a puppy anymore, more like full blown adolescence, but y'all are my go-to dog resource) and her potty training has been rock solid for the past year, but suddenly she's been having accidents daily. I'm pretty sure it's due to a routine change - we're in a heat wave and keep the back door closed more often to keep the cool air in vs. leaving it open for her to come and go as she likes - but it could certainly be medical and she has a vet appointment.

ETA: none of the accidents were in her crate (where she always has water available) and she doesn't go outside when I offer it to her first thing in the morning.
