Your friend needs to go back to the beginning and treat the dog as you would a puppy just learning. Take them out often and give them a word or phrase such as "go potty" or "hurry up" and when the dog pees reward them (I would use food in this case) and run straight back inside. The...

I adopted a part Chihuahua part Jack Russell female dog about 5 months ago. She was around 3 years old when I adopted her. They told me she was potty trained and used a doggy door, so I got one.
