Hi Tammy and welcome to Pet Talk! Your Ally Alice sounds just like a spunky puppy. She's just starting her training a little later in life than many. It's NEVER too late, though. I think limiting access to certain areas of your home until she is completely housebroken will help. And remember to always use positive reinforcement with her. Dogs seem to do much better when the good things are praised, either with pats and loving words, or even the occasional treat!

I hope she will "get it" soon. Just make sure she goes outside on a regular schedule and praise her like all get out when she "goes" outdoors. I have also always been told to get them to do their business first, then play, not the other way around.

Is your vet treating the mange? I think it can be controlled, but it takes a while. I've never had to deal with that before, but I can imagine it would make her quite uncomfortable. Makes me itch to think about it!!!

Can't wait to see pictures.
