hi

i undertsand you completely - our border collie wasnt fully house trained til she was nearly 13 months - and she would also dirty her cage. we found in the end her problem was due to inconsitancy - my partner worked shifts so come home at differnt times - but as soon as my partner came home they got let out - this was a different time each day so she didnt know when she was going out. As soon as we identified the problem she learnt very quickly.

my advice to you would be have a strict plan for her when she eats, when she sleeps, what time you take her out etc.... also maybe section a bit of your garden off for her - so its hers - and i know this might sound a bit disgusting bit next time she does a poo in the house instead of throwing it away put in her the part of the garden you want her to go to the toliet and maybe with her smell out there she might get the hint????

hope some of this helps - and it improves soon,

susie and the gang
