And I have to ask, has the newness worn off already?
I wouldn't think that question falls in the line of "being nice".

Jynelle, I think making sure she goes out more often is probably the key. Even if she doesn't act like she needs to go, take her, and limit her access to the rest of the house while you're training her. She shouldn't have the full run of the house until she's able to be trusted with her potty habits and her behavior, in general. Puppies are destructive at times!!!
