welcome to YT!
If i were you i'd definitely crate her when your not home so you don't come home to accidents. If you feel bad about putting her in a small crate then try and ex-pen. Mine is set up in a 2x6 rectangle. Morgan goes in there when i'm at work and when i cannot watch her. Will your little girl go potty in her crate? if not then the ex-pen will definitely help. put her in there at night and first thing in the morning take her out to potty. if she goes, great, if not, put her back in the pen. give her her breakfast and then take her out before you go to work. hopefully she'll go then, if not she'll have to hold in while she's in her pen until you come home. Right when you come home take her out. Now that you have more time you can put a leash on her, take her out and tell her to go potty. Then stand out there with her until she goes no matter how long it takes. If she pees for 2 seconds and you know she has more to do then continue to stand out there until you know all her business is done. once she is finished you can take her back in and she gets free rein and play time. if she doesn't go and holds out some more then take her back in and put her back in the pen. restrict her to the pen until she learns that pottying outside means play time out of the pen. hopefully you'll only have to do this for a short time. Do not feel bad. Eventually it will be better for everyone when she's housebroken.
