This is in addition to my last post. If it's too difficult for you to keep your dog leashed to you or on your lap while youre waiting for her next potty break, you can put her in a down/stay on her bed.

So say you take her out at the 3 hour mark and she doesn't go potty. Then, instead of leashing her to you or putting her on your lap for 30 minutes and then take her out again, put her in a down/stay for the 30 minutes instead.

She will not go potty on her bed and especially if she's in a "down".

If she doesnt know how to do a down/stay yet, put her in her bed and say down. Once she's down, put your hand up and say "stay." if she gets off, don't say anything, just take her to her bed again. Do this again and again until she stays. Then you can release her from her stay by saying "ok".
