Thanks to you all for the warm welcome.
Yes, I have trained Mya myself. For house training I took her out often with my older dog, I introduced her to the piddle pads. I found the piddle pads work best if you dab a tiny amount of the dog's urine in the middle of the pad. . I always show her where the pads are especially after waking, playing, eating or drinking. I try to keep her on a schedule. I found in my past experience with dogs that they are more relaxed with a schedule.
Oh, and a little secret I discovered years ago is that even if you clean the carpet (with a safe nice smelling cleaner)after a dog has piddled on it, spray it with perfume and they will not use that spot again. It has worked with all 9 dogs that I have fostered.
Just buy some inexpensive perfume that you like the scent of.
Mya is always in my sight unless she is in her little gold cage. She loves her travel bag and goes in it when at home That helps to keep track of her. I don't work outside the home so I was able to devote hours a day to her training giving her lots of praise when she does something right.
I have tried to upload pics, even reducing them to 72pixels and making them 1"x1" but I got the text message that they are too big.

Regards,
