try puppy training pad

We actually suggest that dog owners NOT train their dogs to go on wee-wee pads or newspaper, because this trains the dog to eliminate inside your house instead of outside. The dog cannot distinguish between it being OK to pee on the pad, and not on any other paper or fabric on the floor...
To train a dog to go outside, you need to first put the dog on a feeding schedule. We suggest feeding the dog at the SAME TIME every day. This helps to "program" her bowels and bladder to regular feeding and elimination times.
Don't leave food out for the dog all day. If she eats all day, she'll poop all day. But keep plenty of fresh water available to her.
Keep in mind that puppies don't have any conscious control of their bowels or bladder until they're about 16 weeks (4 months) old. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't start training your puppy right away; it means that she may still have accidents in the house until she has better control of her body.
((If your dog is pottying in the house right after coming inside, the temperature change from outside to inside may be triggering an automatic response that the dog can't control yet.))
Dogs usually have to potty about 10-15 minutes after they eat, when they first wake up in the morning, and when they wake up from a nap. Use these opportune times to take the pooch outside. As soon as ahe goes potty, praise her a lot for being a good dog.
Dogs will also walk in tight circles with their nose to the ground when they have to go to potty. Whenever you see this behavior ask the dog, "potty outside?" and take her out immediately. Again, as soon as ahe goes potty, praise her a lot for being a good dog.
If you're consistent and vigilant ahe should be house-trained in no time.

My 5 month lab was difficult to house train as well. You really have to watch them closely, so if they start to go in the house scold them(nicely) and tell them No. I put up a bell on the door so everytime I took him outside I took his paw and rang the bell. It takes a while but they get the hang of it soon enough. So if you catch her going in the house, scold them(nicely) then ring the bell and go outside. When you are out side say "hurry up" when you want them to go. My dog cought on right away and almost goes on comand now. When you are outside with her and you know she has to go, you just have to wait untill she goes, this may take a while but you have to get her used to going outside. When she does go outside reward her and pet her and tell her good job or something.

If you let her play outside for 1 second you are defeating the purpose of house breaking.

leave her outside for longer than normal, she may not understand why she is being put outside.
Also, when she pees in the house, tell her no in a firm voice
NO works for anything she does wrong after it is used with a ppulling a way from the scene and after a while she will learn what not to do

Sounds like she isn't properly house trained yet. I would start over from scratch.
