We have had our 2 and a half year old Australian Shepherd mix for almost a year now. She is fully potty trained and never has accidents at our house. We live in North Carolina and whenever we visit our family in Michigan, she always has accidents (both poop and pee).
We stay with our parents and she has been here many times, as well as with our other dog who doesn't have any problem. Whenever she decides to go inside, she always chooses to do her business in the exact same spot, either upstairs in the spare bedroom or in the basement, but never anywhere else. She is still going outside as well and has no problem going to the bathroom when we take her out, so were kind of confused as to why she keeps doing this!
Please help.

Sounds like your sweet baby is both a little stressed by the travel and marking the spot as her own. You may want to talk to the vet about giving her something to ease the stress of travel. That may resolve it if it just stress. If it is marking, that is a challenge. Are you able to keep her out of those spaces when you visit? Or keep those spots covered by a piece of furniture?
Wishing you peaceful and safe travels and no accidents with your fur kids! Post back with an update!
It sounds like an anxiety issue. The places she has relieved herself must be cleaned with an enzyme based cleaner to remove the scent.
Talk to your vet. Options are a diaper for travel or anti-anxiety meds. Good luck.
Your dog does not feel at home! Your dog doesn't seem comfortable on this trip. I feel it's just not being at home!
Many dogs will do this if you take them out of their own home and put them in another home. They do not feel good in this home and they are stressed out.
I watch my grand dog every week 1 day and when the kids go on vacation. He is familiar with the house loves me and still does pee mostley and poop sometimes. Take him out a lot, at my witts end. I love him dearly!
