Olive was never house trained and is 3 years old. She hates the kennel, and barks constantly when in it. Kept us inup all night. She poops and peed outside when I bring her, then after being outside for quite some time, will come inside and do it again. I need to find out how to get her to let me know when she needs to go. She wont hold it because she never had to. Please help. She is very comfortable here.

Sounds like she might have some separation anxiety. I had a dog that would go outside then come in and go again. If you can work with her to gain her confidence like “nothing in life is free”. Make her sit before you feed her, going in and out of doors, teaching her a trick, just general obedience. Look up how to train for a crate take it slow throwing treats in and leave the door open until she wants to go in on her own. Maybe keep her in a safe gated room. Put on soft music and give her something to do so she doesn’t get bored. You have to be her leader she feels lost. Just get her out all the time after she plays, after she eats, as much as possible until she understands. You can look up separation anxiety to get more info. I took my dog to a training class for six weeks and that worked.
