House Trained Dog Pooping Inside?
Dogs like a regular routine, If you feed them the same time every morning and no snacks between and go with them to toilet for a few weeks they will know what you expect. Have patience and dont yell if they forget. With consistency your dog should be fine.

Getting Rid of Fleas?
Fleas are killed by soapy water. Bathe your dog with blue Dawn dish soap. Also you might use a flea comb to help with this. The vet is always the best thing but you said you needed an inexpensive way. It wont be permanent but should help some.
