Maggie W: How do you house break a house broken dog?
My house broken dog for the last week or so has gotten it into her little head that she can start pooping anywhere she wants to except for outside! I recently got a puppy and he’s house broken already and now this? What can I do besides kick a fieldgoal from the 50 with her?

Sounds like stress. You just added a new pup to the household. This can upset a dog that is already there.
I suggest you have patience and let her out more often until she gets used to the new dynamics.

Put the puppy in a dog cage, so your older dog has a little of her order back. This helps her adjust to the puppy without him taking over the house. Let them have playtimes, but then put him back in the cage. See if she gets better with that. Also, try giving her added attention, including in a room off by itself and away from the puppy. Pet her gently, and talk kindly to her without the puppy in the room.
It is hard for the older dog to accept a new puppy. Our dog used to have the younger dog bark right in her ear, in looking for a playtime. The senior dog did not like that.
Take the poops outside, and show your dog. Say in a kind voice, “Good dogs go out”. Your dog is going through a lot with a new addition who is probably stealing all the attention.
Answer by keezyA dog that is going in the house either has a medical problem. Has been forced to go in the house because it didn have a chance to go outide, Or needs a reminder as to correct behavior.
I would go to putting the offender in the “playpen” situation discribd in following.
