My dog is a female terrier mix. She is fully housetrained in our house but has never been to another house. My parents have agreed to take her when we go on vacation. Will she be housetrained in their house?

It's likely she will be but your parents should watch her very closely for the first few days. Dogs are situational learners and not all dogs realize that ALL houses should not be pottied in. I hope this helps.
