My 4-month German Shepherd puppy has potty accidents, won't signal.

Question

Nova is an almost 4 month old German Shepherd puppy. I am noticing her potty training now, is I take her outside every hour and limit her water intake throughout the day. If I start pushing it into waiting more then an hour and a half 2 hours, she has an accident. It's been awhile since I had a puppy, but I am concerned that she really isn't on track to being any better with potty training. She also refuses to let anyone know when she has to go she will just go anywhere. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 3 months and 29 days old | 71.2 lbs

Potty training takes consistency and patience. At that age with her size, she should be sleeping through the night without bathroom breaks so holding it longer than hour during the day should be easy. If she is having problems either she is getting too distracted and not finishing outside or she may have. Abladder infection causing her to go more often often. Make sure when she does go she gets lots of praise and treats to help but your vet should check her for a medical reason
