Sophia

I adopted Sophia three months ago from the Animal shelter and I do not know her background, but I do not think that she has had much training. She is eighteen months old.

My biggest problem is that she has accidents in the house, she does not let me know when she has to go out. I crate he all day when I am at work, but do not want to crate her at nite. I have tied a bell to the back door and try to get her to ring it when she wants out but have had litte success. Can anyone help??

She also chews everything I walk her twice a day and have some one to come to take her for a walk in the afternoon, so it is not that she does not get a lot of exercise, but she is so active I cannot wear her out, and I am exhausted.
