[nagdu] Going Inside

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

It may be normal, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate.
Keep her on leash close to you and take her out when you think she has to go. She'll give you queues. When you think she needs to go, take her out.

Realize that you do have control here and that she isprobably picking up on your mindset of "I can't make her"

Hannah,

Sorry you are having troubles.  You might try staying out a bit longer,
giving more opportunities to go, putting her in a crate if she doesn't
go or if you don't have a crate keeping her on leash right with you, so
you can monitor her closely.

Two other quick thoughts...some dogs need a bit of exercise to get
things going.  A brisk walk around the block before stopping to let her
relieve might help.  Or if she is urinating frequently or with little
warning, it could be a medical issue.

HTH and good luck!
Julie
