I made the mistake of thinking she could roam free in our living room & dining room when we are home but there were plenty of accidents. I purchased an exercise pen and use it as a gate, we put it from one wall to the other to block her into just the living room (we're now down to maybe a 10ftx10ft space to roam) and I put a pee pad into the one corner. She has not had a single accident since I've done this. I know pee pads aren't for everyone and that's totally fine, just sharing my experience. It's snowing and freezing where I live so Lyla prefers to not be outside too long 
Good luck, eventually the puppy will get it!

Sorry I also forgot to mention and can't figure out how to edit my post that when we leave, Lyla goes into a cage and her exercise pen attaches to it. I put a pee pad in the exercise pen area as well as her kong and a bed in her cage and she always pees on her pee pad. I have a camera set up on her so I can remotely watch her while I'm at work.
