Making me angry. Very angry.

Well, generally, if a dog has any accidents in the house at all (if there's no medical issue) then the dog is not housebroken.  She probably just sleeps all day while you're gone, and feels no need to pee. I'd step up your supervision of the dog- never out of sight in the house. Go back to treating her like a puppy-- don't just open the door and let her out, take her out on a leash to the potty area at regularly scheduled times and stand there being totally boring until she goes. Then praise and reward and have a fun game, or let her wander around the yard, whatever. In this way she learns potty in yard= fun outside time, instead of learning that ask to go out= fun outside time. If she does show signs of urgently needing to pee in between scheduled visits, pretend you were about to have a scheduled trip outside anyway.

Thanks, mudpuppy!  Sorry for momentarily hijacking your thread, Wolfdog!

I agree a longer time might be needed outside, and make sure you watch so you know if he goes.
 
I do have to say that Sammy is TRULY housebroken, since he NEVER asks to go out, and actually I wish he would sometimes since I feel so bad if we go out and he spend the first two minutes peeing!  And sometimes this is only after 4-5 hours since he was last out, I think he just drinks more sometimes and I don't always pick up on his need since he just lays around a lot of the time.  I think he has a bigger bladder than I do..... and he's a year and a half or so, btw.   sometimes even a happy dance would be nice since otherwise he goes out about every 4-6 hours when we're home with him, and a bit logner in between when he's home alone.
 
We do always have to walk him since we have no yard.  If he has to go then obviously it's quicker but he's pretty good about at least peeing in a timely fashion. 

My husky  needs not only time outside,but timae outside doing things with the other dogs or me...i let them out together to play and wrestle for an hour or so to burn off some energy,and then i will walk or bike with them...on the weekends,i will walk up to 8 miles,or bike up to 15 with them on a cooler day..there is nothing better than having a tired husky when you come inside...

 I also let mine sleep outside in thier kennel?den at night as long as temperature permits..

WolfDog-
 
As a fellow sibe owner I understand what you are going through.  One thing I have come to learn in the six years of owning one is that these dogs can be very manipulative. 
 
My dog will often ask to go outside with no real urgency to use the potty. [sm=uhoh.gif]About 60% of the time she just wants to hang out sunbathing, watching people go by, or just napping in the cool breeze.
 
Usually after a while you are able to tell the difference as to when exactly they need to go out or when they want to go out.  Like when she bothers me to go out she'll lead me to the door but when she has to go she'll run and jump at the door like she can't hold it no more. 
 
But then again my dog is a little unusual.  Sometimes she will sit outside looking in. Not wanting to come in but like I'm her T.V[sm=wink3.gif]. I'll go to open the door and she will walk away.
 
I would suggest teaching your dog to go on command.  I have taught my girl this and it is very useful for when we are traveling or in a rush. 
 

A 1 year old husky that wants to go out obviously means he wants to play with you [] ! Buy toys and play with him outside. Dog sports such as agility will also help. Good luck![]
