It's hard for me to catch her in the act and correct her because I can't watch her constantly.

I am going to have to say that this is your number 1 problem. If you really want to get this puppy trained you are going to have to be ever vigiliant in watching her every move. So you are going to have to take time for a few months to watch her all the time. When you absolutely cannot, you are going to have to crate her or contain her in an area small enough so she does not have room to go potty. I recommend:
1. that she be tethered to you at all times that you are home so you can catch her in the act to stop her before she has a mistake. The only way she is going to form a good habit of only going outside is when you prevent her from having the bad habit of going in the house.
You have to eliminate the bad behavior all together. This is your job, not hers. Hers is just to know what your expectations are of her and she won't know if she is allowed to pee in the house, and yes you are allowing her to.
2. Confine her to only one room at a time, when you can watch her. No free roam of the house.
3. You have to adopt an attitude of
Puppy Boot Camp You just have to assume that she was NOT housebroken when you got her. (She really wasn't, no matter what the other owner told you.) Also you have to know that the new dog just does not understand what you want from her. So it's back to puppy basics!
4. Crate training is a great tool in teaching a dog how to hold their potty for several hours. There are multiple threads on this and also you find good articles on the internet on how to accomplish this.
5. To train her to use the bells, I would recommend that you make her ring the bells everytime, no exceptions, you take her out. I would put some liver spread or peanut butter on the bells so that she is attracted to them. Everytime she puts her nose up to it, give her a treat. Then work to when the bell makes a noise, and then work to when she puts her paws on the bells to swing it. All this will take a few weeks or days, depending on how committed you are to training her. I would also set some time aside to train her just on the bells. Make it a game. Every time she does the required behavior, depending on what step you are on, treat her and open the door. So she associates the bell ringing with the door open. After a while you will open the door and walk out with her, on a leash, and start the process all over again. (Clicker training is great for this).
Those are just a few suggestions. Hope that helps.
