Unfortunately, her 'home territory' doubles as your house!
It's doubtful you can train her out of this - it's primeval procreation instincts at work - but if she is prone to use the same spot or area, cover it with newspaper.

sounds like a hormonal problem. Neutering should do the trick. Its unusual not to neuter if not need for breeding. Dont worry about it. The dog will be none the wiser. Talk to your vet first as its important to do it exactly at the right time otherwise she will continue to be 'hormonal'. Vet may say she could be too old to learn new behaviour. Do it anyway - shes a dog!
