I used an ex pen and I set it up the elongated way I had a bed at one end food and water in the middle and pee pad at the other end where the door was. I would wait for her to pee on the pad and I would say yippee good girl you went pee pee. I would let her out of the ex pen to play and I would leave the door open just in case she wanted to go on her own.
If she started to do the potty dance I would pick her up and put her in her pen on the pad and shut the door to the pen. I would wait till she went and when she did I would do the happy idiot dance again.
Eventually she got it, and started running to her pen to pee. It doesn't take too long and they do sometimes have accidents. I am sure your little one will do fine it can be discouraging in the beginning but you have to remind yourself that they are trying to figure out what you want them to do
