Hello. Please help me!
MY gf and I just adopted a new dog. She is a mini austrailian Sheppard about two years old. She was said to be house trained from the pound but is NOT! We got her saturday and since then she has peed 12 times in the house and not a single time outside and she has also pooped once. I have taken her outside regularly every 30 minutes but when we get out there she jsut sniffs around and gets side tracked and starts looking at everything. Yesterday we went on a 4 hour walk and she didnt pee or poop once but when we got home she went straight in and peed on the carpet. Today i took her to the dog park for two hours and she was a little timid but not aggressive with any of the dogs but did not pee once. Again we got home and she pissed on the floor. so i put her outside cleaned it up and then took her outside. Where she did not pee, but came back into the apartment and peed again.....why is this? what can i do to break her of this? We live on the 5th floor of an apartment if that helps and i have just bought a crate for her when we are not home but we have been home all weekend and she has willingly peed infront of us everytime. If anyone can tell me why she is doing this and wont go outside that would help. And if anyone can please help me with breaking her of this it would be great! Thank you for your time, I DO NOT want to take her back to the pound.
