What do you do when you see her go potty in the house? Are you keeping her in a confined area? Are you watching her constantly when she's in the house? Does she give any clues as to when she has to go?

I have found with our pup that a firm NO if you catch him in the act is sufficient to let him know that behaviour is not desired in that place. Treats and praise when going outside, every time. Ozzy always sniffs around before he goes, so he is good at giving us visual clues that he needs to go out. He's confined to the main floor (we have 3 floors), and if we can't watch him at all times he goes into his crate, but a playpen is good too (we have one on order!). Also, take her out often, like every time she wakes from a nap, shortly after eating/drinking, after fairly rambunctious play, etc.

Don't worry, she will get it, but it may take longer because she's already learned that it IS ok to go in the house. She's probably going to be confused by the change in rules. Patience and diligence!
