Answer
Hi Tayra;
Keep her outside until she goes.
Playing just exercises her bowels and kidneys, and makes her need to go.
So keep her out until she goes, they praise her like she is the greatest dog and has done the greatest thing.
Lots of loving and praise when she does it right, and scolding in a stern voice when she does it wrong.
They want to be praised, not scolded.
They need to pee after they drink, and they have to move their bowels after they eat.
Sometimes, with different dogs, it can vary from 5 minutes to a half hour or so after they eat and/or drink that they have to go.
Usually after exercise they need to go, so after  a romp, take her out to do her business.
My Lhasa is 8 years old, and for some reason, he will STILL pee on my bathmat.
I think he is marking it for the other dogs ( we have 4), and he likes to think my bathroom is HIS territory. He doesn't pee on my husband's bathmat in his bathroom.
Maybe if you make sure there are no towels on the floor, and drape the bathmat over the edge of the tub at night, until she gets the picture that those are NOt things she can go on.
I am a pretty strict disciplinarian, but I have toi admit, that the little cutsey breeds can get away with more, with me too.
My little Max, the Lhasa, flips on his back and paws the air, and wiggles around. The grandkids call it his ?cute puppy" act, and it gets him out of a lot of trouble.
The larger ones, also have their cute tricks to get themselves out of tough spots.
They can really learn to work us!
She may just be confused about where and what she is to do.
Play with her, and them wait for her to have time to do her business beore bringing her in.
When yoy are teaching them what you want them to do, you have to follow a routine exactly, with no variances. When they are well trained, you can relax some and the routine is pretty well ingrained in them, so they will not get confused if you vary it a little.
