You need to constantly watch 24/7 and watch for signs (sniffing, etc) and take her outside. If you cannot watch her 24/7, back in the crate she goes. The crate should NEVER be used as a punishment though... it should be a happy place to go. When you are home, take her out every 30 mins. to begin with... if she doesn't go, back in the crate (but not as a punishment).
As for guests... tell your guests to not pay attention to her at all. They need to ignore her. Somewhere she's learned that jumping etc gets her attention. |
Ditto on this!! good advice!
