Default No luck with potty training

Well, we received Sprite's blood work results this morning and everything was normal except that her lymphocyte level was elevated, which indicates an ongoing infection. We'll continue with the Clavamox and hopefully this will explain a lot of the problems with the frequent urination. I'll let you know in a few days if things are improving...yesterday evening and today seem better, but it's really too soon to tell for sure yet. We'll keep going and hopefully get on top of this housetraining issue soon. She's been spending a lot of time on everyone's laps the last few days so hasn't had as much opportunity to make a mistake. Just to answer, when I catch her peeing inside, I scold her very firmly and run with her outside to finish, where she gets tons of praise. If I come across an accident after the fact, I just pick it up and clean with Nature's Miracle...it's too late to be a teaching moment. I just want to thank you all again for the great advice. I really appreciate it. When I learned Yorkies could be hard to housetrain, I didn't realize just how hard it could be, but hopefully both Sprite and the family will master this soon!
