beagle isn't using the bathroom regularly

I keep my beagle inside the house and I've noticed over the past couple of days that she hasn't been going to the bathroom like normal. I take her out at pretty regulated times (I live right next to my college campus so I can go home during breaks between classes) but she hasnt' been doing as much business.

I've had the dog less than a month but she was already house broken for the most part when I received her. That might be a factor?

Is this something to be worried about?

Edit: I forgot to say that her eating/drinking habits haven't changed as far as I can tell and she also isn't going anywhere inside the house. I haven't seen any and I can smell it anyway, I'm a bit of a neat freak.

How old is the dog? Assumed its in months <6. Could be its wokring less sitting in the house or gettig used to holding it longer. If my dogs are out they eat and go more, if they are in out of the cold eat less and go less.

She's a little over a year old.

Well in the winter my dogs will go less because one they will eat less and two I think they will not go out unless they really have to so they will wait for one big one at. Unl;ess your dog likes to go out to the bathroom and get air. Mine dogs have shorthair so not to keen of the cold unless they are doing something with me, running or hunting.
