Potty training is hard. In reality we are teaching the the desire to go in the desired location, not “don’t potty in the house”. I would consider keeping her leashed to your belt loop when she is in the house the next week or so. Anytime she shows the slightest interest in needing to potty run her outside (or to the potty pad) and then praise her when she goes. If she multiple days with no ability to go somewhere else then she will start having the desire to go in the right location. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
