Yes first train the men folk, and all training commands must be used by the same name by all that live in the house. The male folk cannot show frustration in their voices, dogs pick up on this and will scare them. Make sure the men folk give her a treat when she comes and "soft" praise. It takes a lot of consistency and patience in any kind of training. I am sure you have lil Cookie on a feeding and potty schedule, if not you should, it will make outdoor potty training easier.
