So if she's getting 2 meals per day you should expect her to poop 2 times. When she's out for her walk does she do her business or is it play time? If your husband takes her out it should be for the sole purpose of elimination. If she doesn't do what she's there for then she needs to be kept right at your side and if any sights of going needs to be taken immediately back out. It sounds like she might have some anxiety issues as well. Have you tried using a Thundershirt or Thundercap.

What about using an anti anxiety med. was that suggested by your vet?

I was wondering about the possibility of medication too. Check out the following links for information about Prozac and other drugs for dogs with anxiety, obsessive/compulsive disorder, or destructive tendencies:
