SHES ONLY INSIDE AT NIGHT WHEN I SLEEP ONLY ABOUT 4-5 HOURS MAX AND SHE GOES BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP..

Answer 1

NEW ANSWER. Try not to feed her after 7 pm and no water after 9. Dog can't poop or pee when there isn't anything in his system. Of course replinsh all of the above when you wake up in the morning. she may just naturally have a small bladder.

Answer 2

What you need to do is time your dog from when she eats up until the time she actually goes to the bathroom. At put her out accordingly.

The other thing is most likely the areas inside your house are soiled. This is a normal cause as well that makes them go in the areas and not worry because it's been done in those areas frequently.You would probably have to use Natures Miracle to remove all of the odor, stains, etc.

You should be able to use an ultra violet light on your carpet to see where the actual stains are.

And the other possiblity could be be that she has a U.T.I. and with that you would need to check with the vet.

Answer 3

If this is happening while you are asleep, I suggest getting a large crate to have her sleep in. Some people feel that it is cruel to put dogs in their crate, but I disagree. As long as you don't use the crate as punishment, then your dog will come to feel that her crate is a safe place, the place that she sleeps. It will take a little time for your dog to become accustomed to the idea that the crate is the safe-haven, but make sure you give her treats every time she goes in her crate.

Usually after dogs recognize their crate as their "den," they will never want to dirty their dens. It will be her instinct to keep it clean, just like humans don't want to live in a filthy house. Keep her in her crate when you are unable to keep an eye on her, and soon enough she'll get the hang of not going potty in the house. It worked for my puppy.

If this does not help, and she continues to have accidents in the house, even when you are keeping an eye on her, take her to your local veterinarian, as there may be some underlying problem, or to a animal behavioral specialist.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Sounds like she never had a routine, it's never too late to try.Take out and let her come in after she does the do.If she will go on a leash take her on the leash and go where she usually goes and make her stay there til she goes, when she does get happy and pet her and she'll soon see what all the drama is about.......

Answer 6

when she pees outside u have to give her an award.. some kind of a Cookie.. u should not hit her because she is doing it inside.. maybe u should take her out more regularly.. before going to bed.. and first thing in the morning

Answer 7

I erased my old answer based on your additional info...

It sounds like separation anxiety - Do you let her sleep in your room? Or lock her out? If you don't have her in your room, she's probably pissed off and that's why she's using your bathroom. Try moving her bed to a corner of your room, or sleep with a couple of blankets (So they get your scent on them) and use them in her bed.

Answer 8

put her in a crate until she learns not to **** and piss where she sleeps. take her right outside when you get up or get home, so she will learn to go there.

Answer 9

how long have you had it or how old was it? may be its nervous and is scared of your home and cant hold her bodily functions. Puppy mill or rescue place? or did you get her from a pitt bull breeder?

Answer 10

Maybe she has a bladder problem. You know, does it REALLY hurt to hit the "check spelling" button?
