She still uses the grass the majority of the time but every couple days there's a new landmine or two in the driveway for someone to run over. She's 6 years old, has always had free reign of the property including about half an acre of grass to do her business. Was leash trained in the grass as a pup and has been great up until about a month or so ago. When I confront her with the mess on the gravel, she knows it's bad, but continues to do it. The only difference is I have an area of grass that I'm trying to repair that is roped off, probably 10 ft x 30 ft. Is that enough to throw her off. I don't want to punish her for it, any advice?

I don't want to outright piss anyone off or anything, but I have a couple friends/family members that lean right a little, nothing crazy but it's there. We will likely be watching a few movies this weekend together as a group and I'd like to have a movie or two that will subtly annoy them. Thanks
