I got my dog from a rescue centre 6 years ago. She was a stray (from her behaviour, badly treated) and was about 5 years old. I was prepared for some problems but believed that I could help her to overcome them. However despite training classes, 'dog psychology' & lots of time, love & attention, she is still wetting and soiling in the house. She doesn't do it for a month or two at a time and then it starts again- every few days. It isn't because she is couped up- I am a stay at home mum (my little boy is 2- but no links between the problem and the baby), the back door is always open and more often than not the 'accidents' are near the open back door (she definitely does know where she SHOULD be going). She was checked for medical problems years ago but there was nothing wrong. I just don't know what to do. We love the dog but I am at my wits end. Rescue centre says she is unlikely to be able to be rehomed- but I don't think I can cope with the problems any more. What do I do?
