[quote=Anonymous]Try to remember that the reason she was in the state she was in and has the issues she has is because too many people think dogs should just be a pleasure, and that's why backyard breeders breed them.

Have you consulted a trainer?  Seriously, do one of those training classes at petsmart (they're not that much).  It might help you bond better with her and help you communicate better.  And while in class, ask the trainer for suggestions with the poo issue.

There are also products that will attract the dog to poo in certain places.

you mention that she'll be fine for some weeks and then have a few accidents in a row.  Have you identified any possible triggers?  For example, if she is afraid of storms, perhaps when it storms, she gets derailed and poops in the house out of fear.

if you can identify a trigger, then you can put her in a crate with a pee pad if you expect a storm is coming.

And lastly, given her trauma, it's possible that she would benefit from anxiety medication.  I had a cat who was peeing outside of the box.  I put him on an anti-anxiety med prescribed by the vet, and sure enough, he stopped.  it was fairly cheap (i ordered it from an online pharmacy.  they would call the vet to verify the prescription).  It worked very well.  [/quote]
