First of all, lots of praise when she does go where you want her to. I think you may have to start from the beginning as if she were a new pup. Confined in a small area, big enough for her to have separate spots for eating, sleeping and pottying. Once she is pooing in her potty space regularly, you can make the area a little larger and larger until she finally has run of the house and is using her potty space only. This takes time but does work. I think small dogs seem to take a little longer to house break. I know that a lot of people use the disposable wee pads, but here's an idea. I use crib pads. They are rubber sandwiched in between flannel. I sometimes find them at yard sales, but you can buy it by the yard too. It's called rubberized flannel. It keeps you floor dry and clean and all you do is flush the poo and wash them. Saves money and less trash! I also have certain rugs that I use at the back door that they are allowed to potty on in an emergency, but they very rarely do any more.

my chi does not like to get out of bed until noon. It seems like the colder it gets outside the longer she stays in bed. Also does anyone have any good tips for getting my chi to poop outside. She will pee on her pad or go outside but she poops on my area carpet instead of her poop pad
