Default Training a year old Rehome....

I need suggestions on how to potty train a baby who's already 1 years old...she's a rehome I recently got. I've always gotten mine as babies and have been able to pp pad train them as well as go outside. Now 2 out of my 3 will only potty outside (the 3rd is still a pup and is almost there..she uses both pp pads and outside but mostly outside).

Do I use the same method as the others or take a different approach since she's already a year? I'm just not sure how to break her habit..she's squatting anywhere to pp or poo. I've been trying to take say no, then take her to the pad when she does and say potty at the same time so I'm hoping in due time, that'll work but just wanted any other suggestions from anyone who has possibly gotten an adult(or rescue) and had to start from there.

BTW - She's maybe barely 3lbs so I'm assuming she can't hold it as long...sometimes, she squats and nothing comes out at all...when she does, it's only about the size of a half dollar. They also said they would put diapers on her at night. My girls just hold it thru the night after I've taken them out for their bedtime pp(around 10:30-11PM)..even the 8 mth old.

Any suggestions? Should I just pretend I'm getting a brand new puppy and treat the training method as such?

Thanks
