Shes doing stuff out of spite
My 4yr old Weimaraner Velvet is not using the bathroom while outside. She waits til she comes back in and sneaks and uses the potty. She is fully trained, so all I can think she is doing it out of spite. Any recommendations?

If she was fully trained prior to the "accidents", the only things I can think of are maybe a possible medical issue or stress. Have there been any recent changes or stressful situations?

Quite honestly, I don't believe dogs are capable of being spiteful. Behaviour is communication so she's trying to tell you something if she's already fully house trained. Is she being told off for messing in the house? If so, it could be as simple as this, as she may not want to go in front of you and will start sneaking off to do it when you aren't looking. Has anything changed recently in the house which might have upset her and caused some stress? I'd also consider a vet trip in case she's a UTI or is in discomfort when she's going and is therefore trying not to, resulting in accidents
