This is normal! It can take months to fully housebreak a puppy, and there will be setbacks in the process. Keep consistently going with your routine, and she will get there in the end. Make sure that the litter box is big enough for her as she goes because she may not go in it if she can't fit into comfortably. If Siouxsie peeing frequently in small amounts around the house, then I would have her seen by a vet for a health check to make sure there isn't a medical problem causing this such as a UTI.
