Take her out every 2 hours, and when she 'goes potty', praise her and give her a treat (praise like she's never heard before, really get into it). She'll learn it's great to go outside to potty! (may even fake it to get a treat, lol)
When she 'gets it', then extend the time to 3 then 4 hours, and so on. And definitely take her out when she first wakes up, after playtime, after a nap, and after mealtimes (twice a day), and just before bedtime. | Great advice.
