It takes patience. Just about every dog puts out signs they are going to use the bathroom so you need to figure out those signs and as soon as you see them rush them out. In my opinion doing pads and outside can be difficult and I would pick one to focus on. It might be helpful to watch some positive reinforcement potty training videos on YouTube. Never yell at them even if they go in the wrong place but be prepared to praise with lots of treats and love. They also can go into a fear phase at this age so using treats and exposing them to as many things as possible especially different surfaces to walk on is important. If you treats don’t work to lure them you need better/different treats. Some dogs prefer training with a toy. You have to find their best way to train.
