I'm Exasperated.

Caution: This post includes much ranting and several uses of the word "poop" in all it's various past and present forms. You've been warned.


Why does my dog keep pooping in my house?!?! I love her. I love her to bits and pieces but this has to stop or I am going to have an aneurism. All day she does well. ALL DAY! It's the evenings where everything goes to...well...poop. And it's always upstairs. (However, now that I've said this, she's going to prove me wrong.)
The only things I can think of are A) She smells all the other animal smells on our old carpet and gets confused. Or 2) She is so bell trained that when she is upstairs and there is no bell she has no idea how to tell us what she needs to do. Or I suppose C) is a combination of both. She's not a barker so it's not like she'll whine or bark when she needs to go. And there is no warning. She'll be playing or standing there and BAM! Poop.
I'm going to buy a new bell and put it upstairs to see if that works. Past that, I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it. And to set the record straight, we let her out ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME she rings her bell we take her out. About 80% of the time she goes. The other 20 she spends eating bugs and sniffing around. She'd do it all night if we'd let her. We've even spent evenings where we'll take her out 10-15 times in an hour and within 5 minutes of her being in the house, she'll poop. It is so frustrating. And this has happened on more than one occasion. We have tried box training her. (And you can't rub her nose in it because any aggression does more harm than good since she was a once abused puppy) I am constantly on guard to make sure she isn't having accidents... I don't know what to do anymore. And I understand it's old carpet and it's going sooner than later but I don't want this to happen to the new carpet once it comes!
Again, any suggestions would be helpful. And if you can do better than google, you're my hero. Ma, what would Cesar say???

HELP!!!

Thanks. Sorry for the rant... I just got out of the shower to my dog in her box and my husband upset. I had to ask the masses... Thanks everyone.

Oh and one more thing, if you do comment, which I understand some people have been having trouble doing, make sure you pick an account you'd like to post from (Like google for example) as well as type in the security code it gives you. (Those are the squiggly letters you have to type in the box)
And behalf of Kylie, thanks. The box is no fun...

This isn't actually of tonight. This was the other night right before I shut off the lights before bed. This is an old pillow of mine that I was going to throw out but decided to give to Kylie at the last minute so she'd have something soft. (It is also the ONLY bed she currently hasn't shredded...let see if that lasts.)
