Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! 2 months is still very very young to expect perfect house training. I recommend positive reinforcement-take her out often especially right after eating and use small pieces of a very tasty treat, verbally praise her and give the treat as a reward. Most dogs that are food motivated will quickly learn. When you are playing in the house look for clues she may have to go-suddenly stops playing and starts wandering and sniffing.. Immediately take her outside. There some dogs that are very stubborn and house training can be a challenge. Hopefully Gigi will pick it up quickly! Good luck!
