 To the person in Jamaica
I can sympathize with you in your struggle. I thought I would lose my mind there for a while. One thing my neighbor from the post above mentioned that might be of help to you: she felt walking the dog on a leash every day morning and evening contributed heavily to her housebreaking...
Also, a trainer at Petsmart suggested getting two kinds of pet spray: one for a "no no area," the other for a "go here area." He said to get some pea gravel and create a small area in the yard with the gravel and spray the "go here" spray over the peat gravel. Take her/him to this area on a leash every single time you take her/him out... Perhaps walking combined with this might help. You are supposed to use the "no no" spray in areas where you have seen the dog go after it is well cleaned up.
Good luck!
