How to stop my Chihuahua from pooping inside after potty breaks?

Question

Chihuahua poops in house. Training never works long term. She holds it and comes in and poops. No matter how many times I let her out. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 10 years and 7 months old | 6 lbs

I hate to hear that aboutHoney. I'm sure this situation is very frustrating. I recommend to go back to crate training. Here is a helpful link in case you need a refresher: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-dog/ Now, once your pup is adjusted to the crate and assuming she will not potty in the crate, you will do this: Use a leash or carry her directly from the crate to the yard. You need to avoid the opportunity for her to potty in the house. Give her 15 minutes outside. If nothing happens, use the leash or carry her from the yard and directly into the crate. Keep her in the crate for 30-45 minutes. Then use a leash or carry her directly outside. Repeat this until she eventually potties outside. As soon as she potties, praise her and give her treats. She needs to be rewarded so that she starts to understand. She can then have freedom in the house until you know she should need to potty again. Also, keep her on a leash in the house as this will prevent her from sneaking away. If she seems to be pooping more frequently, have her checked by the veterinarian for something like parasites. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions
