Hey guys i need some help/advice on what to do about my Husky...

I recently just got a new husky around January 25th. I have two other dogs a rotty and a german shepherd. In my house I have the dining room and kitchen open for them to run around and I have a doggie door so they can go outside when they need to. When I got the husky I started crate training her and she would be in a kennel while I was at work all day. During the training process she was really good, she had a few accidents here and there but thats to be expected. She was pretty much house trained by Valentines day and so from there on out I let her out of the kennel while I was at work and let her be with the other dogs. She learned how to use the doggie door and go outside and every time she would come in I would reward her with a treat. She had it down well and didn't have any accidents!

Now, this is where I am having the problem. Pretty much for the whole month of March she has been pooping and peeing in the house, on the carpet in the dining room or right by the doggie door. I can't understand why all of the sudden now she is relapsing in training. She was doing so well before and now whenever I leave she is messing in the house. I get especially mad that she does it right in front of the doggie door! I just don't understand why she won't go outside. It's like she knows she has to but is doing this behavior because she gets angry that I leave her? Whenever I am home at night, or on my day off she is fine. She will go outside and do her business and not mess on the floor.

Now she has started doing this at night too. Sometimes she will jump up on the bed and tell me that she has to go outside, but other times like last night she pooped and peed on the floor in my bedroom! She knows not to do that and I just don't understand why she is being so bad lately. I am getting so frustrated and I don't know what to do. I never had this kind of issue with the other two dogs and I don't know if it is because of her breed or what.

I was thinking that maybe I should go back to kenneling her whenever I leave for work for the day. Maybe I gave her too much freedom too quickly? I feel it is almost necessary to kennel her at night now in my bedroom too. I just don't know what to do and she is going on 6 months old now and I feel that she should be housebroken by now!

If anyone has any advice or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!! Maybe someone has been in the same situation? Should I go back to rewarding her with a treat when she does go outside?
