you need to gently train her! Every time she starts to get agitated or starts to squat pick her up and take her outside where you want her to go! Try and use the same area it is easier for her to learn just a small area! She needs to go out as soon as she wakes, after she's eaten and just before she is settled for the night. Don't just put her out and leave her as she needs to be praised for doing it! The more praise the better at this age! If she has an accident indoors please don't shout or punish her when you discover it! She won't remember doing it! She can't control it, could you as a baby? To her you will be angry because she tried to greet you! When she's left unattended she should be confined to a small area preferably a crate, with puppy pads available! Good luck and welcome to the frustrating joys of training!

Wolf pups get housetrained and they don't have people training them. Dogs have an instinct about where not to do it - 'not in my bed'. So make her a comfy bed, put an offcut of carpet underneath so she has to step on it to get into her bed, and she'll get teh idea that carpet = bed.
At the same time make her a spot to use as a dog loo outside, and take her there on the hour every hour on the lead. Wait patiently with her, at some point she'll need to go. Then praise her. She'll soon get the idea thats the spot she's supposed to use.
Once she's been she can then have some playtime. Then she needs to go back to her bed. A lot of people use a crate, its like a puppy playpen, or like putting a nappy on a baby - it stops them going all over the floor.
Don't leave her to run around unsupervised.

House trainings hard to do, letting her out in the garden regularly and disicplining her when she messes in the house and not on her puppy pad seems to work, a friend of mine shouted and balled at a puppy and it just scared it and made things worse, i'd suggest regular trips out in the garden and respectable discipline may work the best and placing her on the puppy pad when she seems like she's looking for somewhere to mess and repeating this if she walks away may help, i'm no expert thats just my suggestion.

Watch her for signs she is going to dirty my puppy starts to look agitated and look up at cupboards and start to turn round in circled, Grab her and take her out she will soon get the message AND praise her really go over the top when she does it outside .
Don't expect it to happen over night my puppy is 7 months old now and we still have the occasional accident but once they get the hang of it you shouldn't have anymore trouble .

Unless you are there with her all day to watch for "signs" and take her out, you need to crate her until she has learned that "outside" is for business.
I've never had luck with puppy-pads-----they seem to tell the dog that its OK to do business inside, even if there is NO emergency.
A smart dog, given treats after success, should learn within 3-4 days about "outside"

Some people say rub her nose in it, others use pepper, I myself, say, let her go at her own speed. She is most likely only laying her scent down in what she feels is her property, then she should settle back to her doing her thing in the right place..
My dog, when he was a pup took ages to settle down, so don't worry, each dog is an individual, just like humans, nobody do things at the same times.

When you catch it doing it, snatch it up and toss it outside. It will get the message. That's the only way.
