I would not send her to Boot Camp. If you are a "Stay At Home" mom, then still take her outside on a LEASH to use the bathroom. When you return inside, give her a PP treat. If you can't watch her every move, then keep her confined in an exercise pen, or a room that she will not soil any carpet. With the help of EVERYONE in the household, she will be trained very quicly. She is still considered a baby. I totally agree with you on not wanting to give her away. Just because she wasn't BORN trained in bathroom etiquette, that is NO reason to get rid of her. Dogs DO NOT train themselves. That job is up to the human parents.
