My dog won't potty outside after moving. Why does she only go inside?

Question

We just moved into a new apartment and took her outside to use the bathroom 4 times. She would not go. This last time, when we brought her in, she went to the bathroom right on the carpet. Why does she only go inside? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

Dogs can be situational learners and just because they are housebroken in one situation does not mean they will be housebroken in all situations. I recommend to treat Hazel as if she was a puppy again until she learns that the new apartment is her home. That means take her out frequently and use a crate and leash in the house. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
