The breeder sent my baby home with a playpen (for human baby) that she bought in a yard sale. She told me to split the bed in half, put his bed on one side (size to fill up the entire side), and pee pad on the other side. Since dogs hate getting their bed dirty, he always pee and poo on the puppy pad. After he's older I started taking him outside and put puppy pad on the grass. He is now fully trained to go outside on the grass. Just remember, one step at a time.

Hope this helps.
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. You are giving your baby far too much space to start with. I've used this method with other breeds before too and it works wonderfully. Another thing I might add is when you use this method and see her using the pad, immediately praise and treat her the second she is done and she will start to get it. Good luck! Remember this is a process that takes time, patience and requires consistency. You can do it!
