Remember to praise immediately or even while the potty is happening. Once she figures out how easy it is to make you happy she'll be ready to go.

Thank you for your help. I will try your suggestions. Part of my problem is that the breeder had the pads in the xpen at her home, so Lily went right to the pads here at the house, because I put up an xpen as well. Since she was using them, I took the xpen down because it took up so much room, but when I did, she didn't use the pads! So I put it back up. If I move the pad to the door, I'll try again to remove the pen. My problem is there is very little space and I would love to get rid of the pen. She has a crate she can go to when I am away. I'll keep working on it. Thanks again.
