I would say due to my experience (my last dog, lived to be age 14, and my current dog, age 15) that your dog may have a bladder issue. You should probably ask your vet their opinion on the matter.

You could have her checked to make sure there is nothing else going on like an infection. I would try putting pads down for her where you want her to potty. it is common for older dogs to have incontinence.

If she knows to go outside when she's downstairs, I'd say it's likely she's just old and the stairs are getting tough on her. She doesn't want to go all the way downstairs to pee, so she just goes on the floor. Get a diaper for her when she's upstairs. I think this is more of a movement issue than a toilet issue.

Have you considered showing her a special spot upstairs, properly papered or covered with "wee wee" training pads, where she's allowed to go when she's upstairs?

You have to accept the fact that your dog is getting old and is becoming incontinent. At the same time if it has just started to increase it could be a urinary infection. You really should get it checked out by a vet.. Good luck. I wouldn’t put nappies on an animal that is just so un natural.
