I don't recommend pads, as it kind of gives the dog the indication that it's ok to go in the house.
Try crate training.
1. Get a crate that's large enough to allow for growth, but comes with a divider so that you can adjust the amount of room she has. You want to give just enough room that she can stand, but not enough where she can poop and step to the side.
2. Make your schedule for feeding, water, potty and STICK WITH IT. Allow for taking your new baby out additional times during the night when she's young, but by the age of 12 weeks, you should be able to cut back a little.
3. Keep you pup on a leash at ALL TIMES. This not only helps you get her potty trained, but keeps her safe. If you let her off the leash to do her business, she'll think it's play time and she may never go potty.
4. Praise and treat - this will work to keep your dog happy and motivated.
5. Do NOT let your dog run your house until and only until she's completely reliable. Keep your dog on a leash, even in the house, when you are not playing with her.
6. Consider training classes. It's money well spent, especially if you find a good, experienced trainer.
7. Patience - it took time for your mom to potty train you...same applies for you new pup.
Enjoy!

why is your dog not house broke? Pee pads are only for training purposes. your dog is now to the point where any thing that is on the floor is a pee pad for it. SO get your dog house broke now. Cause if you don't she will never stop. Also only feed her twice a day. once in the morning than once at night. and pick up her food dishes after about 10 minuets that way she isn't eating all day. wait about 15 minuets than take her out side when she goes potty out side praise her a lot or even giver her a treat.Also I recommend kennel training her.When you are not home she should be in a kennel.and at bed time she should also be kenneled. She will have some messes in her kennel at first but that should stop soon she wont like being in her own mess

Pee Wee Pads might "not be the answer". ???
If you have a small dog or a hairless dog, there are many reasons to train to a pad. Small Dog, Rainy Cold Weather. Whatever your reason, I just patted up the urine that was on the floor, with the pad. And I also put some of the dogs poop on the pad, so he can relate to his odor and produce waste on there instead of other places. Be sure to scold and reward when necessary. Remember..as soon as the dog wakes up, it has to pee, just like us. So immediately take it to the pad and sit there with him for a few minutes until he pees. Good Luck!
My "tiny two pound dog" will not go out either, he can't hold it yet and the pads are a blessing.
Training means patience equals happiness!!

People always have this issue when they teach their dogs to pee in the house (even on a pee pad). You need to housebreak her. This is going to be a very difficult, lengthy experience but it is for the better. Does she have a crate? If so you can crate train her its the fastest way. Basically watch her and everytime she goes to squat or starts sniffing out a spot, take her right outside and praise her for peeing there. Keep her in her crate overnight and when you're unable to watch her. If this is not an option try keeping a soiled paper beside a clean one, she will sniff that thats where she did business before and hopefully go there.

The dog should be trained to go outside PERIOD. When you teach a dog that they can poop and pee in the house as long as it is over here on this pad.. they don't really get that rugs and other things are off limits. The pee pads are a mis step in potty training and should never be used. Throw them in the trash and train the dog to crap outside where it should have been trained to go a year ago!

I have leash trained my puppy, so that whenever she is done eating, playing, sleeping, I put her on the leash and take her outside. Now she comes to me and let's me know when she needs to go potty. Hope this helps. Just throw out those pads, they're just a waste of your money.
Bless You.

This is a very common problem with dogs taught to use pads or litterboxes. When you teach them to go there you have taught them that its ok to "go" indoors. They don't care if its on a pad or an expensive rug.
Throw out the pads and teach your dog to go outside. http://www.tiaspetplace.com/housetraining_your_puppy_or_dog.htm

pads are a bad idea. dogs should not go in the house. if you start using pads the dog might get confused and go on newspapers and whatever else you leave laying around. happened with a shitzu i had.. eventually she stopped using the pads all together and went where she pleased.

If you want her to go in the house you can litter box train her. I've seen large breed dogs that are littler box trained. Basically how we trained our animals was making sure they where outside when they woke up and lavishing praise on them when they went to the bathroom outside. I don't imagine it would be much different with litter box training.
