I say go back to the drawing board & start all over again from scratch. Right now, I'm potty training Bear (he's two months old) so we are in the same boat! I have a harness on him & attached to the harness is a VERY short leash. This way I can watch him at all times & I notice if he's sniffing or walking around in circles or whining, because this is the signal that he needs to go. Every hour I take him outside (or in your case, you would take her to the puppy pad) & I tell him to "go potty". When he does, I praise him a whole lot & I take him inside immediately. They need to learn that going outside is bathroom time & not playtime (at least, in the beginning it is, lol). In your case, you would take her to the pad every hour & say "Go potty!" & if she does praise her a lot & give her a treat. If you can't watch her, she needs to be in a crate or an xpen or a play yard. If you keep her in an xpen or a play yard, you should also put a puppy pad in there for her to use, just in case she has to use the bathroom inbetween the hour that you've already taken her to her pad at. Good luck! I hope that I helped you a little bit
