Does she have free reign of your room when you're at work? If so, that's way too much freedom for her. I'm so glad you have the xpen now. You'll have to really clean the carpet good with the enzyme cleaner making sure you use enough to soak the pad under the carpet as well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes then blot the excess up with a towel.
On your days off I'd suggest trying to stay home as much as possible to take advantage of the training time. Don't take your eye off of her while she's awake. Don't allow any opportunity for a mistake. And, remember to praise like there's no tomorrow with a one treat when she goes on the pad. I had a special treat that I got from the vet that Lexi LOVED that I used just for potty and 'trick' training. Make sure her potty pad is in clear view where you can see her go. She'll want you to see her because she'll know you'll be pleased. After she figures out there will be a party with a treat for using that pad her bladder will be dry as a powder house from going so much. When she watches you when she goes, making sure you see her good deed, you'll know she's got it.
