Kennel the dog. Get in the practise of taking her outside the moment she is let out to do her business. When she does it, give her a treat AND clicker.

Eventually, just clicker and that will be enough for a reward.

It is really important that the kennel is not too big. It should be just big enough for her to turn around and lie down. If it is too big the dog wil pee and defacate in the part they don't lie down in, If it is too big then, place boxes at one end to reduce the size. The kennel should NEVER be used as punishment.

Halties - these are NOT muzzles rather basically a halter - no different than you would place on a horse. They make walking the dog very easy to do. But, also, until the dog is house trained, put the halty on while she is inside. This will give her the message that she must be on her best behaviour in the house. Eventually you will neither need to clicker or place the halty on her. Meanwhile she will come to associate the kennel as her safe place. Leave the door open and chances are this is where she will go when she wants to get away from it all.

She does have a kennel and I think it might be too big. I'm getting boxes for it. Thx again
