Keep her crated in the house or leashed to you. Don't let her in the kitchen if possible. Start over with housebreaking like she was a puppy.

Many dogs learn that as soon as they go potty outside, they get brought inside so they won't go if they still want to play. If the dog potties outside, say good dog and play for several minutes before going back in.

Dogs don't mess their living spaces intentionally. Somehow your dog has been mistrained and you can easily retrain her-it just takes time, consistency, and a ton of patience.

Don't get discouraged - keep on trying.

Yes I agree. Keep her crated and watch her when you are inside with her. You must catch her in the act. When you do tell her "NO" and take her outside and then say something along the lines of "potty outside" soon she will understand to "potty outside" when you do see her go outside and potty praise her! You basically need to start all over with potty training! Any questions PM me, and please don’t give up on your baby for this! You can teach her to go outside again!

Agree with the above posters. Once they feel it's ok, they will continue to do it. If you don't catch them in the act then a correction cannot be made.
Try going back to taking her out on a leash and telling her to "go pee or poop". Tons of prasie when she does. When you bring her in the house you can either crate her or keep her on a leash with you. If she is on a leash with you and goes a firm "NO pee..poop" and bring her outside immediately and tell her to "go pee poop outside". It may take time to break the habit, but they do catch on.
Good luck.

Sometimes dogs as well as cats have their accidents where they are comfortable or where they have had that accident before. So my suggestion is to get rid of the odor in the spots your dog keeps messing. Trust me you are not the only one with this problem. check out sayno2odors.com. I tried a product called N2O Odor Eliminator off their site for my dogs and you can never tell i have any dogs because there is never any smell. I've had previous accident spots that smelled before I tried N2O , not any more. That would be my suggestion and recommendation. I wouldn't tell anyone to use anything different, i've tried them all and this works the best. Let me know what you think.

Good Luck
