Hmmm... what a big big mistake! It's okay, you can retrain her to come towards you happily without feeling scared or unsure. Go back to basic! Don't be afraid to go back to basic! Use treats to make her come towards you & just praise & throw her ball/toy or maybe pop a treat in her mouth. After a while, you'll see her come towards you when you ask her to without any hesitation you know...? Just bare this in mind yah, never use the word COME to scold or correct her for sumthing she has done wrong. She must associate the word COME as something exciting & rewarding. I've mentioned this in my previous post. But if you're a first time dog owner, it's okay to make mistakes once in awhile. I was like you when I first got my 1st Golden, Amber. 1st dog ever in my life! She got really terrified of me & would just run into the study room. And when I come towards her to make her come out, she would just tuck her tail between her legs, with her ears back. So please, don't make the same mistake as I did before.
Now, as for the peeing problem in the house, hmmm... I can't help much with that coz my dog's were never like that from the day we adopted them. I mean, they did make a few mistakes in the house but that's about it. The rest of the time, they would just pee in the porch & of course grass too when we bring them out for their daily walks. Well, the only thing I can think of is your dog's either very excited being in the house that she can't control her bladder or she's marking. Some female dogs do mark too... I don't really know how to help you with this. Hopefully someone here can. But I hope the COME thingy will help you... Just go back to step one. Don't worry! She will learn the command real fast BUT you mustn't go into the habit of calling her & scolding/punishing her. Break that habit!
Cheers
