LadyLavender covered it really well. Great post! There is one thing I'd like to expand on and one I'd like to add.

The best way to create a dog who hides from you when they potty is to punish them for inappropriate pottying. They learn that it isn't safe to potty when you are around. Not want you want. So, handle accidents like LadyLavender said.

The thing I wanted to add is "Never under-estimate the power of positive reinforcement!". Every time (yes, every time) your pup potties in the right spot, she deserves loads of excited praise and yummy treats (that you have with you so that you can reinforce immediately).

Good luck!
