If she's food motivated that's great for you. Take her out as often as you can and always give her a treat. My Jonah will go 3-4 times just to get more treats. How long do you leave her alone? I had to cover a vacation last week at work so I paid one of the neighborhood kids to come and walk my pups around noon (long days) and then my husband came home to put them out in between too (his office is next building over) If I hadn't done that and was gone all day...forget it! They would have messed all over eachother and then licked it off eachother.
