I think it's awesome that you are going to spend the night in your laundry room/crate area for your punishment for not supervising FOXY-DAISY closely enough resulting in her having to potty in the house for relief. Oh, wait... you don't mean you're punishing the dog for that, do you? :eek:

Fox the dog- I know you meant well but unless you caught her in the act, she has no idea why you are mad at her. Dogs only remember their actions in a matter of seconds- not minutes or hours. All she knew is that suddenly you were mad. This would make her nervous when you are gone - afraid of what is going to happen when you come home. This will make seperation anxiety and fear of being left alone.
Second of all- a crate should not be used as punishement. Otherwise she will become afraid of her crate. That is not a good thing either.
Next time she is left unsupervised and something happens, do this instead. Ignore it- walk right past it, take her out, then when she isnt looking, clean it up. By getting upset with her, and being her being upset and worried, will make the bowel etc actually more active. Its better if she is relaxed when you are gone as she would be less likely to go potty while you are gone.

Thanks. I am trying to train my dog. I don't have that problem because they always go outside. They would scratch the door or some kind of signal. What I want to do is train my big dog to not dig holes in the backyard, not to bark all day long, and leash train him so I can walk him. I actually started doing it yesterday.

Yesterday I caught my Daphne starting to pee on my bed I gave a firm "no" and she jumped down and ran under my vanity stool. I took her out she went . Came back in ti go to bed and she acted worried when she jumped on the bed.
I think she was unsure if she was supposed to be on the bed even though I corrected her in mid squat.She was confused.
Even catching them in the act they can be unsure of what they did to get your displeasure.

You are exactly right Micki. Zubin got roped like a calf by a vacuum cord once, and went to bite it as I tried to free him- he opened his mouth to bite the cord- and I said " NO". The cord pulled out of the wall ( Thank God), but for two days he was worried about the vac.
This is my point with using the crate as a form of punishment. What your dog could be afraid of is the crate- missed the point completely.

Foxy-Daisy does not know it's wrong to mess in your bedroom - she is slowly learning, but she doesn't know yet.

Borzoimom is right - unless you catch a dog in the act, that means you find Foxy-Daisy actually relieving herself in your bedroom, your dog won't understand what she's being punished for even if you scold her just a few minutes later. She will just think you are punishing her for no reason, and this is going to create a lot of fear and confusion for her.
yes and make her fear her crate in the process.

You do not want to make the crate a place of punishment! Why don't you just crate the dog in your bedroom with an ACTUAL crate, then she won't be able to go on the floor, and she will be near you which is all she wanted in the first place. Why do you have a dog if you are just going to lock her out of your room? She just wants to be with her mommy.

I sometimes crate Bo after an accident, but only so he doesn't see me clean it up. (Since he's a Velcro dog and when puppies see you clean their poop or pee it reinforces the need to pee/poop in the house). When I do crate him after an accident, I don't do it in a negative way, I do it just the same as when he is crated for sleeping or to be contained so I can leave the room. I tell him bed and put some toys in there. It is fine to crate after an acciedent, just don't do it differently than you normally do.
