How can i get my austrialian shephard to let me know when she's got to go outside more. She's had basic obediance classes and is 4 year's old and spaded. Up to date on her shots, very shy and i take her to the dog park regulary. Any tips please

Tie a small bell on a string at the level of her nose. Every time you take her out to do her business tap the bell. She will make the connection that ringing the bell means "go outside." Don't forget to praise her when she does it on her own. This has worked for every dog we've had.
(It also means she will ring it just to go out sometimes.)

First of all, I would suggest discussing this with your veterinarian. (Is the dog not urinating indoors?)
If you can't train the dog (I assume you've tried.), train yourself. For instance, take the dog outside to do her business every four to six hours the same time every day. Anticipate when the dog will need to use the bathroom, like after you feed it.
Also try reading the book NO BAD DOGS, by Barbara Woodhouse for some excellent tips on how to train dogs.

We had a similar situation with our poodle mix. At first we would try cage training him but he hated being locked up and would demonstrate this to us by pooping on the carpet, grrrrr. Then we would take him out frequently even if he didn't have to go,and this took about 3 months. How old was your dog when you got her? If she had previous owners who would abuse her, she may have issues that you may not be able to fix. Find a professional:

Think it's time to take the dog outside to the doghouse. Where the floor is fertilized by the dog.

Just give up and poop on the floor your self, that will show your dog that you are the "alpha b-tch".. Once the stench gets too much for her, your dog will want to go outside and poop, then you win. Go get her top dog, Go dog go !

set up a time to take her out for to do her thing at a set time and reward her if she goes out doors but do not if she does it in doors
and at feeding times feed her she eats at that time and if she walks away from it she is done take it away for nest feeding time
but give her snacks or treats if she did not **** in the house
she will learn food=reinforcement training
you can modify this idea and I am sure you can come up with several things to try

after feeding your dog wait for about 30 minutes, than take her outside. i would put her food up at night. and walk her if possible , before you go to bed .the later at night the better for your dog.i walk mine after 10:30 pm.

hang a small bell next to the door and teach him when he has to go outside he hits it with his paw. Try it will work!
