Thank you fasteddie, I am glad to know "It's never too late", I just hope she gets the idea soon. She has picked up on other things so quickly I guess I figured (or at least hoped) this would come easily to her also.
Actually, last Sunday morning when I took her out of her crate and put her on the pee pad I decided she was wasn't coming off the pad til she pottied and I sat there on the bedroom floor right next to the pad and kept putting her back on it and kept telling her to "go potty" (since I knew she HAD to go after all night). She finally just couldn't hold it any longer and went on the pad. I praised her over and over and gave her treats and then went ahead and let her outside because I could tell she was frustrated and probably not done with her business. I wasn't sure she "got it" but hoped that she did. When I brought her back inside I kept her with me wherever I was all day and I have pads down in all the rooms she was in. Once I noticed she had used the one in the kitchen altho I didn't actually see her go potty. I still praised her and told her what a good girl she was. Later in the day she just pottied on the floor so I used the pad in that room to sop up the pee thinking that pad would then have her scent on it and it is still down in that room but she shows no interest in it at all and even tho I put her on the pad when it looks like she is looking for a good spot she just stands there looking at me. I will definitely keep working at it, and give it more time. I was just afraid that once they got it in their head that outside was the place to go, there was no changing their little mind.
