Only thing I can tell you is that she is too young yet.  At 8 weeks old they do not have bladder control and it's not her fault, these functions don't kick in until 16 weeks old.  Most however will make it thru the night dry since they are not moving around a lot, some need to be taken out at max every two hours, by time she is 12 weeks old she will be able to hold it a bit longer and at 16 weeks you will make a lot of progress.  Patience and learning her signs of when she has to go.  When she does go outside, praise, praise and more praise and also a treat will get her into knowing she did something good.   ~~ Susan ~~ & The Poo Gang Mikey, Buffy, Amy & Lacey ~~~~ "A dog is not "almost human," and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such." - John Holmes Yahoo!
