I have an 8 month old Great Dane that I got from a family that couldn't take care of her. I've had her for a week now. The family said she was housebroken and never tore anything up. I can understand the first few days of her being in a new home with new people that she would be stress out. But it's been over a week. We take her out, but she won't go do her business unless we are standing next to her.
We left her in the house for about 2 hours. When we got back we found the house torn up and poop on the floor. We take her out all the time. We took her out before we left. Then today we had her outside with us. It was hot so I put her in the the house. About 1 hour later I go in the house and she had torn up a box we had on a table and pee on the carpet. Then we were all in the house. I was just in the next room and she pooped on the floor. I don't know what to do. I'm starting to regret saving her. What can I do and why is she doing this/ Please help before I send her away. She is not my first big dog.

Hard to say what is behind all of this. It is probably a number of things combined. She is young and perhaps didnt have all the training she should have. I would try crate training.
