First of all, I absolutely LOVE and adore her. She's seriously awesome.
But yesterday all the snow melted and today we have a flood warning. Our yard is a complete watery mess. Now she will not use the bathroom outside. She would always pee as soon as I took her out. Now, it takes forever if she does go. She just stands there looking at me or lays down.
Today she peed in the house and was looking for a place to poop so I hurried up and took her out. 25 minutes later, nothing. So I brought her in and crated her. Yesterday she did the same thing, but I didn't crate after she didn't go outside and she pooped in our family room. My mistake, I know.
Anyhow, I don't know what to do. She's not afraid of the grass, as she'll lay in the puddles and run around. So I know that isn't the issue.
I give her treats for going outside and I don't get after her for going in the house.
