Dog holds pee outside, then goes inside. Is she rebelling or scared?

Question

My dog won’t go to the bathroom outside anymore , she holds it all in until the early morning and goes inside the house ? Is this sign of rebellion ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 26 lbs

Hi there. No, this is not a sign of rebellion - dogs don't think this way. It's more likely that she doesn't understand where she is supposed to potty, or is afraid or uncomfortable about going outside for some reason. Feel free to post again with more details about exactly what's going on - we would be happy to try and make some suggestions.
