Puppies need to go out just about almost every two hours or so. Most of the time it will be shortly after drinking water, after waking up, and after eating. You should sort of feed her at set times so that you can expect her/him to go out shortly after that. WIth the above said, you will help them to learn that they are to do their needs outside.
When night time comes around, make sure to pu ttheir water n food away until the morning comes around, so that they don’t eat or drink water which won’t have them having to go out in the middle of the night. All that will help them develop a feeding time, and teach them to do their business outside.
Hope that helps.

the first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it’s thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it’s spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit…. yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. Good Luck! I Hope everything works out!

yes…and all it is is that she is happy doing her business when she wants to…When you take her out…make her use the bathroom as soon as you can and then give her a treat…then right before you take her inside…depending on how long you were out…make her go again…and give another treat…then if she goes in the house punish then put outside….eventually she will know going outside is good…and you will be good…but sometimes she will just go when she wants to…its just a personality triat my shitzu does the same thing….

I guess my advice would be to feed her and give her water 20 minutes before you go for a walk. Walking will stimulate her bowels and bladder. Hope this will help her!
