I would put her crate next to your bed. Put some really nice treats in there and put her in and out at few minute intervals. Only give her treats when she is in the crate. Make it cozy. I did that with Jess. I put one of my shirts I had slept in there with her. I did it differently than some as I bought a medium size crate that had enough room for a bed and pee pad. (Im not one to get up in the middle of the night every couple hours and I was indoor training her anyway. I hung a water bottle on the side ) Occasionally she would pee in her bed but it got less and less. I left a night light on so she would be able to see the pad..it was either pee on the pad or her bed. She finally figured out sleeping in pee was not so much fun...
she now sleeps in my daughters room but still in her crate. If you have young ones like I do its impossible to leave the dog unattended at night to roam as my kids leave stuff on the floor (littlest pet shops for example) and I dont want trips to the er vet to find the pet shop picnic table lodged in her throat.She has not had an accident outside the crate in months! We still give her a treat if we see her go on the pad..
