Default Housebraking problems

My 18-month old pit mix is housebroken, or at least she is most of the time.
Once or twice a week she just goes to the bathroom in the house. She always
has the opportunity to make outside regularly and she rarely has to hold it
more than 6 hours, which she is capable of doing. She just goes in the
house b/c she feels like it, not b/c she was unable to hold it any longer.

She knows she isn't supposed to do this, when I come home and find it she
cowers as she knows she has done something wrong. But she continues to do
this. Any thoughts on what I can do? Crating her isn't an option, as I
have another dog who doesn't have problems and is give free reign of the
house.

Thanks.

Why is crating her not an option? Please help me understand.

I don't understand why you can't crate her. It's the most
sure-fire way to solve the problem.

I'd suggest a dog door from the house into a securely fenced
yard, if that's possible. That way, she can go outside and
relieve herself whenever she needs to.

I don't believe it is fair to crate 1 dog and leave one roaming freely,
especially when the crated dog can see and hear the non-crated dog. And a
doggie door isn't possible, we live in a condo in the city so we don't have
a door to the outside.
