She will bark at the door and appear to need to go to the bathroom, so I will take her outside on a leash, but she will not do her business. She had an accident inside, and I could tell by looking at her even before I reprimanded her, that she felt bad about it. I guess what I'm asking is how do I get a two year old that seems housebroken to go outside or is she having problems because she is just adjusting to her new home?
It's only been two days. Take her out regularly instead of waiting for her to bark at the door. Give your potty command and wait until she does eliminate then praise just the same as you would with a pup. She doesn't yet know where you want her to go.
