I just adopted a 2 year old Min Pin from the animal shelter. They say that she is house broken, but she wants to use the bathroom in our house. How do we stop that?

Everytime she has an accident, take her outside. Gather up the poop and bring it with you, put it on the ground. Say potty, or poop or whatever. If it's pee you can use a soaked paper towel to demonstrate the same thing. They need to associate the scent with outside. We got a dog who wasn't housebroken. That's what we did.
Try using pee pads for dogs. Place them in a spot near a door, preferably an outside door if possible. That might help and praise him/her when they use it.
