She and the pups were vet checked 2 weeks ago, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
I removed all extra bedding from the pen and put an individual bed in each crate. The only thing in the pen is a potty pad and a bowl of water and 4 crates. I crated them all last night, and let them out this morning individually to go potty, and she went on the pad. I told her good girl and gave her treats and then did the same with the boys and pups. Then we played for a bit and all went back into crates when I left to run errands. When I got back we did the same thing, except that I left them out a little longer-my daughter picked Lark up today, so they were all playing with new toys. When my husband got home, we crated them again so we could go eat dinner and I let them out to play and potty when we got home and then recrated. So far we've had no accidents (other than one of the puppies pulling the potty pad across the pen and turning it upside down when I was doing one on one with another dog).
I'm hoping it re-clicks for her.
