Maybe if you go on a long walk in the evening that will help to guarantee that she poops in the evening before bed?

Other than that--if you have no one to watch her, even though there are people home when you are not--the only logical thing I can think of is crating. If the dog is running around the house and sees people around the house as well, but doesn't get let out-- "going" on the carpet probably makes sense to the dog b/c the every one in the home isn't being consistent, thus making it ok.

If she's crated or in an x-pen and there are people around, it would probably be clearer to her that she's not to go until she is let out.

As Poochiehvn suggested, my dog also hits a bell on a string (that i made for $1.25) on the front door to let us know he needs to go soon--but even with a bell, will the other people in your home let your dog out when you're not there?
