I don't know how practical this is. But my co-worker was saying that their neighbor has a puppy and she has the dog tethered to her when she is at home. So the dog is always with her. Like I said I don't know How practical that is... The other thing would be.. That our trainer suggested to us was that whatever room that we are in confine her to the room. Put up baby gates and just keep your eyes on her constantly... (Invest in a steam cleaner

) Just make a habit of taking her to the pee pad every hour... I know... I know... Easier said than done. I know Annie doesn't like an audience and just wouldn't go anytime that we were around. But just try different things and see what works....
