Question
we took on a female boxer last year, she is just over two
years old and we got her from a breeder were she lived in a
kennel with a large run on, she is brilliant in every way
except she pees on her bedding all the time,  even when she
has just come in from the garden or if the door is open
which it is all day long till late at night, we have gone
through so much bedding it is unreal, i took her bedding off
last night and left her without any then this afternoon put
some bedding down and with in 5 mis she had peed on it again
the trys to cover it over, we are at our wits end as what to
do to stop this can you please help

Answer
She has never been house trained.

It will be up to you to house train her like a puppy.

Since she lived in a dog run- they peed where they peed- no one ever taught her to go outside when needed.

Train her like a puppy by taking her outside to pee after each meal, before bedtime, first thing every morning, and every 2 hours in between.

Reward her each and every time she pees and/or poops outside, (with a treat) and praise her, love on her, pet her; get excited.

Make a big thing out of her accomplishment!

She wants to please, so she will continue after catching on.
