You would want to train Clarice to it just like you would regular potty training. Dogs are very substrate-specific, and at her age she likely is used to going on actual dirt or grass. You may want to add some dirt to where you are trying to teach her to go, and take her every hour or so to keep giving her chances to sniff and try it out. If she does go, rewarding with her praise and treats can help.
