Ok, when we got Kiser (lab mix, stray - about 10 months old maybe) she seemed to adapt to our home and family with ease. She was friendly, quiet and had very few accidents in the house. I never noticed her having an accident unless we went to0 long between letting her out. Anyway, then one evening I got sick and went to bed early. DH, who brought this dog home but is clueless to pet care, didn't take her out. In his defense, she would go to the door and sit no barking or anything but STILL!!! So, I got up the next morning and found four puddles of pee and three piles of dog poop in a line from the foyer through the living and dining rooms. I cleaned it all up with vinegar and water, tongue lashed DH and went on. Since then she has had an issue with pottying in those rooms. No matter how often I took her out, how much excercise I gave her, etc.. She kept right on leaving deposits! Just those rooms though. Then she started crawling under DD's bed and pooping. Just her bed, no one else's.

Use Nature's Miracle or another enzyme cleaner to erase the smell of mistakes.

And go back to crating her when you can't watch her. The more she's allowed to do the undesirable behaviors that you don't want, the harder it'll be for you to solve the problem. Be sure that your DH understands this, too. If the dog doesn't potty in the right spot, back to the crate. HTH!

It is all hubby's fault. He should have let her out. How could he live in a house with a dog and not know the most basic care of the dog. Now she has her smell in the house and she will continue to do her business in your home. You need to get a good cleaner from the pet store that is specially made to remove dog odors from carpet, etc. And make hubby shampoo the carpets with it.

Has she pottied in front of you and got spanked? She might be scared to potty in front of you. I did this and my dog started going wherever in the house. I bought a leash for outside and put her out for 20-30 mins several times a day. Now she knows thats where to potty and she still gets playtime without worrying about her running off. And after two weeks of that I can even take her out on her own and she will go for me. Be sure to always say Good Girl when she goes potty outside. and when you take her out to the leash say Outside loudly and excitedly.
