Sounds like you have a stubborn little girl on your hands! First, I would find something that DOES motivate her. This might be treats, toys, a clicker, or certain words/tone of voice you praise her in. I would try different kinds of treats if she's not liking the ones you're giving her. Ask friends and neighbors what kind of treats they give, and ask for a few to try them before you buy. I did that with a bunch of friends, and we all found our dogs preferred different things than what we had. Also, try people food-anything from small bits of cheese, frozen green peas, little pieces of hot dogs or boiled chicken, tiny chunks of bananas, spaghetti noodles, lettuce, WHATEVER-as long as it seems kind of healthy. I'd also watch how much food you're feeding her before you try to train her. You might try training her BEFORE her mealtime so she's more apt to want the treats. She's not going to work for food if she's got a full belly!

As I'm sure you know, this breed is difficult to potty train. Stick with it. She'll get potty trained eventually. Consistency is key, and so is being firm on how you train her. Maybe you could try one of those "pee here" sprays from any of the pet stores. That might help! Our Milli is about the same age, and she is better potty trained outside than inside-is it an option to train her to go outside?

Good luck!
