Unfortunately you cannot force a dog to pee inside. Most dogs that are very well house trained will not pee inside unless it is has been more than 24 hours. Just leave her alone and keep her in one room in the house, very dark, and if you can, play some soft music loudly to drown out the outside sounds. This may help make her calmer. Do not worry about the urination. She will pee when her bladder gets full enough.
