I've tried washing the floor with straight white vinegar to get rid of the urine smell since I read that they don't like the smell. It doesn't seem to faze her. What else can I use to mop the floor so she doesn't want to pee on the floor.
| How old is Gidget? After being outside for 10-15 minutes, does she go potty? If not, then you can expect pee on your kitchen floor soon after ;)
If she doesn't go potty when you're outside, go inside, wait about 5-10 minutes with strict supervision, and then take her back out to the potty area. Repeat this until she finally goes potty outside and praise!! It helps to use a potty word everytime you see her pee/poo. They'll learn that's the potty word and then you can try using it as a command later on.
If you're crating her, then make sure you take her outside each time you take her out of the crate before playing. And when it's close to the next potty break (say 30-60 minutes until the scheduled potty time), I'd suggest putting her back in the crate to avoid accidents.
If you follow these suggestions and she's still peeing on the floor, note down when she's doing it; you might need to tweak the schedule accordingly (i.e. may need to take her out more frequently).
