Just as with a child, or a human learning a new skill, there will be set backs. Just be consistent.

Remember, no scolding or hitting when she goes elsewhere. Clean up and move on. It is OK to make sounds / noises of disgust, they do understand this. "Yuck, ick, yuckies" that sort of thing.

With a puppy, observation and timing is everything. Figure out what she does before she goes -- walk in a circle? Sniff, sniff sniff? Once you know the lead in, you can follow through, getting her onto the pads. Also, how long after she eats / drinks does she go. If you maintain a routine time for feeding and exercise daily, she will be "going" at the same time daily, too. Often, this means success Monday through Friday, with weekends being set backs. Eh, it happens!

When she DOES use the pee pad, make sure you have a PAWTY!! Jump up and down, twirl in a circle, clap and sing, praise and TREAT REWARDS. LOTS OF IT. If she (and any humans present) are looking at you like you are nuts, you are doing it right. Otherwise, you are not making a big enough deal of the success. CELEBRATE!

Finally, about 6 months old, you will have a teenager on your hands, who will decide no rules apply to her. You may have to start all over again from scratch. Remember, be consistent and this will pass.

During training times (which will come and go during the first year), you may need to use baby gates to confine her to one room, to protect your carpets and furniture. The kitchen is the obvious choice, as easy clean up for any misses. Of course, if the pee pad is not normally IN the kitchen, this presents a problem re moving it.

Good luck, you can get there!
