Dog Health Questions: When I got my dog she was house trained and did good for a week or so now she gos in the house when ever? why?

When I first got her she was already house broke and she did really good with it for about the first 2 weeks then I think my parents got lazy when walking her wile I was at work. Its not like there old there only 39 and 38 and im 18. I think oh is she has got in the habit of using our wreck room as her own toilet. Ive done every thing I can think of but I cant get her to stop Ive been taking her out every hour and she still some how slips out of site from me long enough to go take a big old poop in the house. If I cant find a way to stop her my parents are going to make me get rid of her. I cant do that I just can so im open to any and all suggestons. please feel free to email me at buckeyesoh@hotmail.com. If you do email me please make the subject someing to do with dog training. Thank you very much.

If she was on a bathroom schedule when you got her and your parents didn't follow it then she would go in the house. However it sounds like she's marking the house as your home because now she's been there long enough to feel comfortable.

When she goes in the bathroom in the house clean it up (if she poops pick it up with like a paper towel or something and if she pees soak it up with a paper towel) and while you're cleaning it up have her there with you and sternly (don't be mean even if you're mad she'll just keep doing it to egg you on) tell her not potty (or whatever you say) in the house, then take her and the poop outside and say go potty outside and leave the poop out there. If it's pee you can't really leave it out there but either way make sure you show it to her inside and then leave it if possible outside. Then when she does go outside tell her good potty outside really reward her so she understands where it's okay to go and where it's not okay to go. And it may take a little while because training dogs isn't easy and even though she was already house trained she's just made a huge change.

I hope this helps!
