Answer
Elizabeth,
 This can be a really annoying procedure but will correct itself one day soon.  They won't usually "go to the bathroom" in the place they eat, but some will. This is when you have to let them figure out the problem on their own.  She will figure this out,give it time. Keep doing what you're doing and have faith that she will learn the proper tactics!
Good luck,Elizabeth
