1. You must
never ever ever keep your eyes off her, EVER.
2. During the times you can't keep your watchful eye on her every move then you need to confine her to her crate or an x-pen.
3. You should confine her to one room of the house (the room that you are in at the time where you can keep your ever watchful eye on her) until she is reliabily housebroken.
4. You can progress to other rooms in the house, one room at a time and understand that each room you introduce to her will be another excerise in practicing housebreaking rules.
5. No free run of the house until she has earned it! She earns it when she is accident free for 1 -2 wks.
6. You will need to keep taking her outside for potty breaks and keep to that schedule so as to create a habit for her to potty ONLY outside.
7. Don't expect her to ask to go outside on her own every time she has to go potty, until well into her training. (It could take months)
You cannot once relax from the above until she is accident free.
