My 12 month old dog (flat coat retriever) will NOT stop going to the bathroom inside our house. We have tried all the conventional methods and rewards. We are at our wits end. We adopted her @ 10 months old and she has been with us since August. Please help us!!!

idk, do you have a doggie door?....see if you can get her to go outside, and then maybe she'll get the idea....

You need to revisit house training. she needs a total lab work up. Make sure there is noting physical first and then you may need to crate train. ore info about when and why is needed on this behavior but check with the vet first. Could it be she is coming into season? How long has this been going on? ETC.

Typically they will not go inside of a cage. I have a Pekingese and he was relentless. I finally got a cage and that is where he stayed unless I was watching him or he was outside. It took about 30 days. Hope this helps,

That might be a bladder control problem found in dogs and I don't think it's too uncommon. My dog has it and we like to watch him and he'll show us when he has to go by the way he acts. Also try spraying something on the spot so he doesn't smell the pee anymore so hhe won't think it's OK to pee their.

have the same problem with my chihuahua. we just close all the doors to the bathroom and we let him out every once in a while. he was trained as a puppy though that when we tell him to go potty we lead him to the door to go potty outside. good luck!

If you have a crate (hope you do) review the steps here

and see what's been left out. A dog such as yours should never, ever be left unsupervised in the house!

She is doing this to show anger over some issue. Maybe being left alone too much or some jelousy, etc. she is pissed off so to speak.

Contact your nearest Petsmart. They have free potty training classes.

you might want to have her spade. we have a male jackrussell terrier that was doing that, so we had him neutered as a last resort and since then we haven't noticed that he has went in the house.
