First off, have you taken Rosie to the vet? When a dog eliminates outside of her routine trips, then something is going haywire in her system. She will drink more water, causing her to go more often. If there is a problem then it may prevent her from being able to hold it. Although she is a beagle; hard headed, stubborn, etc., she should be housebroken. Again, another sign.

When a dog eliminates and then cowars, then something is wrong somewhere. She is telling you she knows she’s not supposed to do this, but maybe she can’t control it (incontinence (sp) )and runs to her safe haven.

As far as stupid……that’s an uneducated guess and a rotten opinion. She already knows how to shake paw, and sit, eliminating the stupidity theory. Try finding the problem and fixing it. It could be as easy as taking a small pill 2x a day.

As far as getting rid her because of this…….lame.
