I really need some help here. My wife and kids decided to adopt a new dog. I
have had them all my life. Her name is Annabelle. She is a Pit mix.
Annabelle is very intelligent and responds well to voice and hand commands.
She is 1 year old and spade. She is in perfect health. She will ask to go
outside when she needs to go....unless our bedroom door is open. Annabelle
will use our bed as a bathroom. This has happened several times now and this
is really getting old. We have had her for three weeks now with no change
with this. If our kids room is open, she will pee on one girls bed and jump
on the other and poop. I don't get it. Our house is clean, the beds are
clean.

This happened tonight after about a half hour of going outside and relieving
herself. While getting the kids ready for bed, their door was open and she
nailed the beds.

She can take long rides in our car with no problems. Sleep at night without
an accident, but we can not leave a bedroom door open and unattended.

After the accidents she is reprimanded with a stern voice and swat with
newspaper. She knows that she has done something wrong, but wont stop. We
use fabreez on the mattress to hopefully prevent smell issues.

I am completely at a loss with her. I have NEVER had this kind of problem
with a dog.

Someone PLEASE HELP!
