Im just not sure when she should be in trouble and when she makes an honest doggy mistake. As of right now Im trying the positive training where I only focus on what she does right, hopefully that is the right way .

Yes, do the positive training, they can sense when you are even a little upset, so you don't have to yell to let them know they made a mistake. All her mistakes are honest doggy mistakes. Remember, if they make a mistake it' really a training mistake, but don't be too hard on yourself either. Joey would seem to wait for me not to look and then go. Whenever they are out of the xpen, you have to carefully supervise them, and have a pee pad handy. Remember, she doesn't understand your words, it's not that she's not choosing to listen.
