I have an 8ish month old spayed German Shepherd mix who I adopted from the shelter at 4 ½ months of age. When I got her, she was half house trained. She was very bad about asking to go outside and would pee right in front of me. When I was away, she would pee and poop in her crate and eat her poop.

She has since stopped eating her poop but she STILL pees. I buy new blankets for the crate (she chewed the pan and I haven’t gotten another yet) and I bought Nature’s Miracle “No Marking” and it hasn’t worked at all. She does not drink water before she goes in the crate and she goes out to pee & poop before I put her in there for 7-8 hours. I have had her urine and fecal tests done and she doesn’t have a UTI or parasites.

When I’m home, she whines to go outside. Sometimes she pees on my floor if I forget to take her out before a nap or something. When she had access to water it’s like she’s never seen it before and she drinks for 45 seconds straight if I let her, so I only allow her to drink for 10 second intervals at a time.
