Question

Maggie Mae
Hello,
We have a 14 month female bulldog "Maggie" and a doggie door.  She does most of her business outside and loves the doggie door choosing to use it instead of the door whenever we go outside or come back in.  She will go in and out of it to chase frogs, get water and lay in the sun.  The problem is that when we were training her I would escort her out and love all over her when she did her business, and now it seems that she needs me or she cant perform?  We crate her during the day and she does not potty in the crate.  When she sleeps in bed with us at night she holds it all night, we go out in the am and she does her business.  When she sleeps on the floor by the bed, she urinates and poops in the house.  Help, how can we get her to go outside on her own and do her business.
Thank You
Terri
