I would also recommend timed feedings. Of course that depends on the size of your dog as well. With Lex I get up and walk him immediately..he will pee and poo. I bring him back in and give him food and water. Then right before I leave for the day I walk him. When my girls get home from school at a quarter to three they walk him and he will pee with them. When I get home at five he gets walked and then fed. He will usually pee and poo again. Then that is it for food for the night. Water will still be given but nothing is left down past seven. That way the couple times after he will get it all out of his system. When I was free feeding when I first got him it was a constant accident.

Part of the problem for her might be that she is confused having the piddle pad and you taking her out. I eliminated his pad and did my damndest to walk him probably every hour on the hour and would tell him let's go potty and praise him like hell and bribe him with cheerios. When you are off seriously concentrate on the outside walking.

It does take a ton of patience with these guys. The timed feedings with Lex I think helped tremendously with his potty skills. He is now seven months and for the most part never has any accidents in the house. Just remember their bladders are small so they need to be walked more than a bigger dog.

You definitely need to walk her way more. That is not enough. No one can stay that long without going to the bathroom.
