Another carpet problem but with a neutered six year old adoped female Lhasa
Apso who refuses to do her business in back yard, whether on lead or not.
Will only urinate & deficate while on walks, no matter what I do with or
without treats. She can hold her full bladder for hours upon hours. Her
companion, a four year old neutered male who we had and trained as a puppy
is yard-trained, but the female refuses to follow his example. I am at
wits end and would appreciate someone's advise on how to begin a
corrective training program. Thank you.

Don't give her hours. Take her out on leash, to one spot, stand for five
minutes. Take her back in, put her in a crate (or dog-proofed area). Take her
back out 20 minutes later. Take her back in. Take her out 20 minutes later.
Until she goes. In other words, don't give her the opportunity to pee anywhere
except for in the right spot, until she gets it.
