Sheila, I usually find that Cavaliers are quite eager to please and quick to learn as a rule. You scold her when you catch her beginning to relieve herself in inappropriate places? I never hit or punish in any way other than to holler loudly yelling "No No" loud enough to really startle and scare the wits out of them. Then I immediately take them to an appropriate place and pat them and say "Hurry up" in a sweet and encouraging way. Then praise profusely if they go. This only works if you catch them in the act. They do not know why you are angry otherwise.
I really have no experience training in severe weather, however. We live in So. Cal. It must be a bit harder in snowy and severe weather areas. If you haven't tried the loud yelling, you might try it.
