Help, Sadie's acting out

[Sadienme]

I have had Sadie for about 2 1/2 months and she has been doing very well with the training. She would not go potty in the house and was listening to the general commands of sit, stay come, potty outside. She sleeps with a large square pillow and she has toys in her kenel. I let her out to go potty before we go to bed. I typically go to work for 8 hrs so she's used to being in her kenel for about 10 hours (she's 11 months old).

Heres my problem: she demolished her pillow and peed in her kenel. She's been barking and whining in the mornings. She also has started peeing and pooping in the house. I have a 2 story house and I just recently started incorporating the upstairs to her. Is this to much for her? Should I just keep her downstairs

She is also very timid. So to remedy this I've been walking her and taking her to petco or pets art for about an hour. She loosens up after we have been there for a few minutes. I'm trying to be patient but it's getting difficult. This timid issue also is difficult to dance around when she starts ripping the patio furniture up or goes potty in the house. I say "no" or make a loud 'pssst' sound to get her attention. She knows she's wrong and I'm mad so I have to chase her around to get her to come to me.

I know she's a good girl and maybe I have loosened up with the training/reward system. Any advice would be appriceated.

Between 9-11mo seems to be when boxer go though a rebelious stage, so its normal for her to be rebeling right now.
As for the pottying in the kennel, i had to say its because the 10 hours in the kennel is way too long. Someone should at least stop by to give her a potty break during lunch.
While loose in the house at 11mo she should have a grasp on PT and should be giving you signs on when she has to go out. So if she is pottying in the house, its either cause she still doesn't understand PT or you are not catching the signs.

thanks

Ok so I have been trying to take her outside every hour or 30 min. when we are upstairs. so far so good. I even started noticing her warning signs. Thanks for the advice and Ill def have someone let her out when my shifts are that long.

PS the "signs" are there I was just not sure how to read them. We are learning together Sadie and Me

As for the rebellion, I bought her 2 puzzle toys to keep her mind busy. I must say its pretty hilarious watching her.

Kong

Buy a Kong make sure it's the right strength for her size. Then I fill mine with two different treats and top it with cheese wiz and freeze over night. I leave pandora out while I work but she loves the frozen kong! And keeps her busy for awhile!
