I strongly advise crate training. If you do it properly your pup should be house trained successfully in no time. First pups do not have complete bladder control until around 12 weeks. When they have to go they have to go! Your job is to make sure they do not have run of the house until they potty.

The pups crate should be no bigger than to allow the pup to stand, lay, and turn around in. If the crate is bigger section it off by putting a board or something else of your choice to make it the correct size. Make it soft and comfy inside. Immediately when you open the crate to let pup out, take her outside and tell her to go potty. When she does make a big fuss and praise her like crazy. If she doesn't potty outside bring her back inside to her crate. No touching the floor for even a second. After about 10 minutes or so then take her out again telling her to potty as before. Repeat this until she potties. The pup must be taken out to potty every few hours. Once she potties then you can let her have run in the house for a while. If she tires out and lays down, put her back in the crate. Repeat the above process again as soon as she awakes.

Pups normally have to potty again about 15 to 20 minutes after each meal.

Do not put her in the bathroom. Bathrooms are unsanitary and this will also hinder your housetraining process since this gives her a large enough area to potty in without any consequences.

Once the pup understands potty is done outside you can take the partition out of the crate if you still use it because of chewing or digging problems.

Best of Luck with the new pup!
