    Housebreaking woes

    Sorry in advance for a long first post. I have a 2 1/2 yr old Spaniel / border collie mix, spayed, named Toka who seems to be mostly housebroken and I just can't get her to 100%. I have had her since she was 9 months old. When I first adopted her she was housebroken, only one accident...
