I have a 1 1/2 year old basset I cannot get house broken, I have her crate trained she can be in her cage for 8 hours while I am at work and she can hold it but when she is out of her cage in the house she doesn't hold it at all, I take her out she does her business then 20 minutes later I catch her going in the house, I am at a loss of what to do, I got her spayed in hopes that would help, so far no results from that. She will be out side for 45 minutes and not do anything, she gets so easily distracted. She always pees outside but pooping is another thing. When she does poop outside I throw a mini party with praises and treats and belly rubs, but it isn't sinking in. I am at the end of my rope what do I do. I have limited her meals to only twice day, I have thought about changing her food to maybe a food that would create less poop but I don't know what that would be. I love her I will never get rid of her, but this is awful that we have comtemplated maybe finding her a new home, but that thought last only 5 minutes cause my eyes well up with tears and I just say I love her I can't do that. But it is so gross I have to get my carpets cleaned every month.
She has a spot that she always goes in the house. She goes underneath the dining room table. We have an area rug under there, I considered buying a new rug and cutting teh old rug into pieces and taking the pieces outside, but would that help? I even thought about getting a small table to take outside with us to give her some privacy so she will go, since we live in an apartment complex there is always something going on. I have tried all the traditional house breaking things I need help and I hope one of you can help me. I love her so much, and i want her to be happy and I want to live in a pee and poop free house !! Please help
