What we do... I'm not expert but I have a laundry room I added a baby gate to and put a nice large fleece dog bed in for Molly. She will not go in her area at all. Then as soon as I'm home we let her outside and she goes. Sometimes it takes them awhile to do a #2 but lot's of love and patience.
At night I have a small carrying crate (used for a cat at one time) that is perfect for her to sleep in that I keep next to my bed. Once she is in there I don't hear a peep out of her until the next morning. When we get up we take her outside right away to do her thing. So far this is working for us. Plus I try and take her out every two hours.
I don't use pee pads since she only wants to tear them up. She is such a tomboy! I'm glad this is working for us. Once in a great while we may have an accident because two hours has went by and I have forgotten to take her out.
You need to find a schedule and stick to it. Now when winter comes I don't know what to do because Molly is only 6 months. We will work through it though.
Good luck on your training.
