You could try hanging bells on a ribbon from the door knob and trying to teach her to use them. They're smart and learn quickly. If you catch her having an "accident," say the same thing every time it happens. Like, I would say "Uh-oh" and "No!" Then I'd take her to the door and ring the bells with HER nose and say, "Wanna go potty?" Out we'd go and stay until she did. After she went, I'd get super excited and praise her royally, "Good girl! Good girls get cheese!" Then we'd go in and she'd get a little piece of cheese. Consistency is important. Say the same things each and every time. Saying uh-oh can become an important trigger for them when they have an accident. To this day, mine will jerk her head around if I say uh-oh about something else. Mine caught on quickly, but she was a puppy, too. Hope this helps some. The antibiotics could be causing part of your trouble.
