My Bella is 8 almost 9 months old and I can not for the life of me get her housebroken. I will NOT use potty pads, newspapers etc. Its my belief that a dog should potty outside and only outside. I can leave her outside for several minutes sometimes up to an hr on nice days and within 5-10 minutes of being inside she will potty. I do watch her for clues and rush her outside and praise her when she potties outside but I do work full time and am not always home with her and when that occurs she is in the kennel. I can not keep her confinded to just where I can see her as I have a very open floor plan the only walls/doors being to bathrooms and bedrooms. I just dont know what else to do, Im lost I keep promising my finacee that she will house break and he is steadfast that she never will and hates her with a passion as a result. Please help me.
