Just Pass Me By

Okay, I’d like to know how dad expects me to potty train his dog, if he keeps breaking her training or for lack of better word punishment. I am not doing anything unreasonable, and when I am gone for a long time, and not close to home I don’t do it. So it’s not unreasonable. I have been told to kennel train the dog not to go potty in the house. When I first got her here she was doing good at not pottying in the house. It became concerning lately when she been very defiant and acting like she ruling the house. She been a lot better to the cat, but to my husband she showing no obeying. She will listen to me but when I am not insight she will pee or poop in the house.
The other night I put her in the kennel because she had refused to go outside all day and then I bring her inside and 10 to 30 minutes later she was pooping in the bedroom, sometimes less then 10 minutes. So I showed her and threatened her with the newspaper it seems to work for getting her attention. She don’t like the newspaper, not sure I blame her. I told dad she needs to be in the kennel tonight and not out until I get up in the morning to take her out. I got up and started getting ready and during that time dad let her out of her Kennel so she took a big dump in the bedroom by the door. Great! How do you expect me to train this dog, if your letting her out to poop in the house. He don’t even scolded her or tell her No, which is like encouraging her to be naughty. So I find it and got annoyed with him, then he wants to talk about getting raid of the dog because she not allowed to crap in the house when ever she wants to. Come on we live here, it’s not healthy to have dog pee and poop everywhere, and I am sorry she’s our responsibility. Dad wanted her, and him being away from his dog would be unhealthy emotionally for him. I had to take shadow out keep her out longer then I wanted because I just couldn’t deal with dad, being mad because I want the dog to be potty trained. I am not talking about being unreasonable about occasional accidents shoot Otis has them sometimes, and I don’t get to mad about that. When the dogs had accidents in the house, and hubby and I have seriously been held up because of emergency and we’ve had a few. I do not get on the dog, because I figure it’s not her fault if we were gone 12 hours.
After a while I talked to dad and explained to him, that the dog isn’t to much work for hubby or I and we wouldn’t have accepted her here if it was going to be to much work. I explained to him that she got to be trained, I know it’s hard having her in the kennel to be honest, I hate doing this but I can’t find anything else that will work for her. She been only going potty inside the apartment this week not once has she went outside. She went pee for me tonight and I reverted back to giving her a treat just for peeing outside and put her in the kennel. I know I was told to kennel train her all day but I can’t do that but at night I can and will with out feeling to bad. During the day I think I will need to find a way to keep a eye on her and get her in the act a few times, see if I can stop her and get her outside to go potty. She’s four years old so it’s might be a challenge but I know she can do it because when I first brought her home to be with dad she was doing good, but then again I was giving her treats maybe I need to give her treats longer this time. I have spoken to several trainers, and most have suggested this or keeping her on a leash all day, or looking her up in the kitchen or bedroom.
