Hi and welcome to YT! You have come to the right place. I know others will be by to offer advice but I wanted to ask you if you have thought of tethering? That would be put your pup's harness (not collar) and leash on her and attach her to your belt loop (sometimes she's just attached to my wrist. This way she has to go everywhere you go and it's very easy to keep a close eye on her and teach her not do do those things.

Don't punish her if she makes a mistake, remove her from the area and give her a toy to play with, then give lots of praise. They learn so much more from positive reinforcement than any punishment. Try to keep everything light and happy and be sure to reward her and tell her what a good girl she is when she does something right.

I know how this works because I have received this kind of advice and am using it right now to help with potty training.

Good luck and please let us know how things work out. Again, welcome!!
