Ok, so I've posted on here about this problem SEVERAL times. I hate how angry this makes me! I would never give her away but that's how I feel sometimes! I love her to death but I get so mad. I know it's my fault, but I've trained golden retrievers before so why can't I train her? I have the potty train in 7 days book, I thought I'd read that again. I also want to crate her when I'm not home. Here's my question about that, if she was good in the morning and went outside should I reward her with being out of the crate? I'm never gone all day anyways, and most of her accidents are at night.
ANY advice will help. If something worked for you let me know.
I also got pee pads and she had no idea what to do. Which is fine because I'd rather her go outside. She knows it's wrong to go in the house, and she sometimes scratches to go out. It almost seems like she's being lazy when she goes inside??
