There is 1 that is calm, but the other pees everywhere. A lady wants her, and it would be a relief, but I've bonded with her so it's hard to do this but I want to sell her. What should I do?

Sell her - you have someone who wants her and can give her a good home. Sounds like you're not able to train her and resent her for it, so let her go.

Sometimes, it's better to let a dog you care for go to someone who will be able to address the needs of the dog. Maybe this woman will be willing to keep in contact and let you know how your dog is doing in the new home. She might be willing to send you the occasional email and a recent photo. If this person is capable of overcoming the issues the dog has, it would be in the best interest of the dog.
If you really can't handle parting with the dog, then you should consider looking for a good trainer to help you with the issues your dog has. Any dog can be trained, but time and patience are always a part of that. A good trainer will help you and give you lots of advice, tips and methods.
House training takes time and patience and some things that will be helpful is crate training and establishing a schedule. When you take your dog outside to do business, be sure to praise her well for doing it in the right place and reward with a treat. This gives incentive to do it again the next time. Also, if you have a place, like your kitchen, where you can confine your dog when you can't have an eye on her, this will eliminate carpet accidents that can be smelly and hard to clean up.
Good Luck!

If you love her, are bonded to her, and want her, talk to someone about behaviour modification if the dog does not have a health issue like a urinary tract infection.
If getting rid of her would be a "relief" than that is probably what is in her best interest.
Please email me at libertydogtraining@yahoo.com and we can further discuss what you can do if you want to keep her. I have some tips and ideas for you that may make this workable!
Make sure you get Pet Force from http://www.frrco.com/121668 You may have to use several applications on older potty accidents, but it works and it's important to get the smell out so the dog won't reuse and accident spot. One bottle of this will last you a long time. It is what we use.

If you're unable to properly train your second dog, and she's "too much" for you to handle, you need to let the other person take her. Bonded or not, you don't want the dog staying with you until you start resenting her for the messes she's making. Living with the mess will be stressful for you; and your stress will make life miserable for the dog. Let the other person have her... but make sure you have the woman sign a bill of sale, and disclose the house-soiling information on it, so the other person can't come back to you and complain she never knew about the dog's urination problems.

Well if you love the dog and you don't want to let her go, then put in some extra work with her to train her. If you have the extra money you could take her to a trainer. Will this lady be able to train her and handle this dog? If not, would she return her to you or send it to a shelter? Those are some things to keep in mind. but I would definitely try a little harder with her and maybe consider some classes

Well if you are feeling overwhelmed by the situation than I would look it to selling her to the lady. I have a ten month old and we just got a 2 month old dog and it's been alot of the same thing. It is frustrating but it'll be worth it in the end.

Have you checked with the vet to make sure the peeing everywhere isnt a medical issue? I had a dog that did that, and it turned out he had gallstones. If its a behavioral issue only, consider taking him to a trainer. Dogs are smart, they can learn not to do soemthing if you will only take the time to TEACH them, not just scold them. Don't give up until you have tried everything.

What kind of dogs do you have? Maybe you could sell one to me... But if you keep bonding with them then maybe after a while you would never be able to get rid of them. Dogs are lovely... I've always wanted one. I would always go over to my best friends house and walk her beagle.....

I know it is hard, but you are doing the right thing by giving her away. You should only have a dog that you know that you can truly care for. If you believe that you are giving her the best home you possibly can, you should keep her--but if not, you should give her away to a better home. It is the right thing to do.

Is the dogs worth the pee all over your carpet or floor> Is the dog worth your nerves? I don't think so. You have 1 dog left to love and nurture so it shouldn't be that bad.
