I have a female French bulldog that I got at 8 weeks old- she goes outside and will come in and poop again in the house- I have been scolding her then putting her in her crate after she does this in the house- she is also crated at night and is fine in crate-what am I doing wrong? She eats vegetarian can patten food

Kenneling a dog as punishment is a BIG mistake.

How old is the dog now?

Why is your dog eating a vegetarian diet? Commercial foods are not complete as it is, feeding your dog a vegetarian diet means she is missing a lot of different nutrients that only meat can offer. Dogs are, after all, carnivores. They need meat.. And I'm sorry to say, but animals should not live the same lifestyle as the owner... dogs and cats need to eat meat to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Crating her after she poos in the house is a big no-no. When she poops... take her back outside. Do you go out with her? If not, maybe start doing that. Make sure she is pooping in front of you or that you can at least see her poop. Don't just stick the puppy outside and expect her to do her business.. Puppies get distracted very easily and will simply forget to go potty.
