Ruh Roh! I can understand completely. What I learned from listening to others here on YT is that the pups respond so much better to positive reinforcement than they do to negative. For example instead of saying "no", just pick her up and put her on her potty pad and when she does her business, then give her lots of praise. Yippy!!! Praise her like crazy and she will get it!
I think when we criticize bad or negative behavior, they get confused and really aren't sure what the right thing to do is. By putting her on her potty pad and wildly praising her when she goes there, she associates your happiness with what she did right.
My DH was getting after our Princess Sophie about going poo on the carpet, every time she did it wrong, he got all mean looking and angry sounding. Then she began going in the hallway around the corner from the den. She was hiding it because she didn't understand what the right thing to do was. When I finally convinced him to try it my way, she came around really fast. She hasn't had an accident in the house for quite some time now.
Good luck!! Your pup will be on the right track soon with some positive reinforcement.
