I agree. You have to fence her off in a small area. Make sure she is comfortable, and has what she needs. That doesn't mean leave water there all the time, at least not for now. Since she is middle aged now, she doesn't have to have water there all the time as long as someone is home to give her water several times a day. As soon as she eats or drinks anything, take her outside and give her your cue word to pee. "Go potty now", or just "potty". Repeat the word often enough for her to associate it when she pees or poos. Whenever she does, bring out the bands and make a huge deal about it to make the association with the behavior as strong as you can. Give her an immediate treat. I always carry a small bag of cheerios with me, they're just the right size! This can take weeks, even months, but it will work. Everyone needs to say the same thing to her, use the same words. When you or another responsible person is home, attach her to you via her lead and your belt. She should go where you go, at least during the time you are training her. Take her outside every hour to do her "go potty" routine. More if she were a pup. If she starts to do what you want her to do, you can let her go loose, but she has to stay with you. As soon as she pees or poos in the house again, immediately take her to the back yard where you take her to pee and say "potty". Of course she won't have to go, since she just did, but it's the association you are trying to create. After several minutes, place her back in her pen. Say nothing. Try not to be angry in words or in your movements. Be patient. Praise your pup as often as you can and praise yourself at the same time, because this is difficult work! Remember, when we first bought our yorkies, we all read that paragraph that talks about how difficult it often is to housetrain a yorkshire terrier. Soo, just by writing here and asking for support, you've shown how much you care about your dog. Six years is a lot of untraining to do. I'd be more worried about a younger second dog following in the same footsteps. Nature's Miracle is the best stuff I too have found. But you have to make sure you get it all. Invest in a small black light flashlight. When you shine this, you can see where there is still pee to be cleaned. I bought mine for $2.00 at a bargain table at a local hardware store. I've seen them at target. These things help, but constant training is the only way. Good Luck kiddo.
