Dog Health Questions: How to train my dog????!!!!!!!?

So...we got our dog from our grandma about 2 years ago and she was supposedly trained. She did fine for awhile.....occasionally chewing up things while ignoring her own toys...but in all she's done pretty well so far. But NOWW shes for some reason...well...going to the bathroom all over our floors. Everywhere. I don't know what to do with her since she HATES the rain and REFUSES to go outside when its even wet AFTER raining. Oh, and she hates snow. And it's mid-fall. It's almost winter! My mom is about ready to give her away and I REALLY don't want her to. SO.

1. any tips on what the heck I should do with her?! How do I "re-train" her; since I think we let the training lapse a little.

2. any good websites that can give me specifics?? I can't afford to buy a book, and I can never get to the library...so websites are good(: Thankkss

OH.

and it's not age. she's about 3 years old.

AND.

I'm super busy so I don't have hours to follow her around and watch and note everything she does...habits, etc. Plus it's hard because this is all on me. It's my dog. So I have to do everything with her, and I don't have infinite amounts of time to spend on super-dog-training her. haha so immediate ideas...please(:

THANK YOUUU!

Dogs - Training

Recommended Answer:
You seem to think training is a one time only thing and the dog is ok for life? No such luck. You need to be reinforcing all the training regularly.

Get the poor dog a rain coat, they make them. The thing wraps around the body of the dog and many have hoods, it helps calm a dog in bad weather.

If you can't afford to buy a book--why haven't you checked your local libraries? They have a pet section with dog training books. You can google 'housetraining a dog' very easily online yourself.

Super busy or not, you took on a dog, the dog is your responibility. MAKE time to play with her and be part of her life. She's not a stuffed toy.

Time To Find Out More About Appropriate And Efficient Dog Training

• A good way to learn about training your dog is to watch the dog whisperer he has good insight on animals and knows what hes doing. i learned how to train my puppy through him.
  
  show her the difference between the good and bad items to chew whenever you see something she has chewed pick it up lightly tap her nose with it while saying NO. then follow up by giving her one of her own toys and walking away. continue to do this until the dog stops chewing your items. it worked well with my 95 lb dog. and when she uses the restroom in the house put her nose in it tap it lightly say NO then follow up by walking her outside so she sees where she is supposed to be doing it. and if you have a kennel put her in that when you leave.


• You can take the dog outside and stay out there with it and say "Go potty" every so often and don't let it in until either A.) it actually does go potty or B.) after about, eh, 10 minutes, and the dog doesn't go potty and take it inside. If the dog continues use the house as it's toilet, spank it, tell it no, rub it's nose in it, say "bad dog" and "outside" and keep the dog outside until you either cleaned it up or you feel like the dog has been punished enough. Whether it's wet outside or not. the dog HAS to be put outside for punishment (or if it enjoys being outside, put the dog in it's crate), the dog HAS to know inside is BAD to relieve itself and outside is good to relieve itself.
