I would recommend trying to potty train daisy outside. Sometimes it can be hard for dogs to realize the difference between the potty pad and regular floor. However if you want her potty pad trained every time you see her not using the pad take her over to it immediately. Also, you can take her to the pad multiple times through the day and if she pees give her an award like a treat.
