Keeping dogs inside when it rains

My aunt had to put newspapers under the dining table because that's where her dogs started to pee when they arrived here. Since then, I've been changing newspapers every day and I had to listen to my mother complaining about it because she had the point that the table is where we're eating and she hates that the place stinks. I just wish my aunt taught her dogs to just pee outside but she was afraid of possible abduction of dogs. It was an inconvenience but we had to adjust.
