Oh no, not in front of the coffeemaker!
There is another method for potty training that you can try.
Buy some puppy training piddle pads. They are scented to attract the dog. On the first day, put 2 to 4 pads down overlapping each other and confine Lola to an area (one room?) where you have placed the pads. Put her on the pad and choose a keyword or phrase like "go potty." Do this after meals and throughout the day. She probably won't go right away.
If you see her circling, looking for a place to potty on your floor, bring her to the pads.
Supervise her as much as you can and when she pees/poops on the pad, praise her and give her a treat (I use one kibble). Really let her know that you are pleased when she does things right. Goes nuts, without scaring her. She will see how happy you are and she will want to do it again.
Don't criticize her when she does it wrong. Clean the spots thoroughly with an enzyme cleaner so that she won't return to the spots and want to potty there again.
When she starts getting things right with the pad, move it closer to the door. Eventually you can transition to the outside.
If you choose to go with this method, you can also incorporate lots of walks and more time outside with supervision/praise to speed Lola's understanding that you want her to potty outside.
Good luck!
