Update: She has done better has far as not having the small accidents but now we are fighting a new monster. She will be outside for hours at a time, come in a pee on the floor. She also will pee when you pick her up or pretty much any time. Starting to get tired of cleaning up pee!

You crate training or does she get to run around in the house? Does she pee in her crate?

 I sold a pup to a guy and the guy was quite astute and noticed that I had cedar shavings all over the whelping room floor where the pups would do their buisness,they would jump out of the sleeping area that was straw go do their buisness in the shavings.He went home,screwed together a small box and filled it with shavings for texture.His pups mastered the dog door and the potty area and had 2 accidents total,a #1 and #2.He called me giddy with delight over the potty training and said it was all about the "Texture" of the buisness area.Perhaps your pup likes the texture of the floor in the house? Do the accidents happen all over or are they isolated to one particular floor covering.

The scent is going to kill you,you can't smell it but she can,I used "Nolvasan" Sterilizing liquid to decon the whelping room,it's the same cleaner they use at the vet in the surgery area,it kills every kind of bad ju ju you ever could think of,it also removes any kind of urine/poo scent.Every week the pups would run all over perplexed on where to pee.Get some and wipe down every place you've had an accident.You'll buy the "Nolvasan" at a feed store and it's kind of expensive but is a good start at potentially fixing your problem,It smells good too.

I think it's about $30 at the Grange but, it dilutes so you stretch it out a long way. I kind of like the smell. Sterilized my whelping room every day with it for a month. She should be able to hold her pee for at least a couple of hours. Also try keeping the rags you wipe up the pee with in a plastic bag. Take them outside with you(or leave them out if it's not raining) put them in the spot where you want her to clean out. Take her to that spot every time you go out. If she doesn't pee within a few mintutes, put her back in her crate in the house. Do this every couple hours. You'll get it. Limit free play time in the house. Play with pup, go in crate. No free time for pups outside of the crate when you're having potty training issues. It's not called Potty Hoping, it's potty training....keep it that way

You crate training or does she get to run around in the house? Does she pee in her crate?

She is in the crate for most of the time. She is in the crate while we are at work and she sometimes pees in there but often pees right as we let her out which is understandable. She is outside with our other dog most the evening and only comes in for a little bit every night before bed. She loves to pee in the kitchen and we have cleaned the whole area with everything we could think of. The kitchen is her favorite spot to pee but that doesn't mean it is the only place. She is notorious for peeing when you pick her up or take her out of her crate etc.

Nolvasan the kitchen and figure out a better thing than being crated all day while you are at work.Outside kennel or something.Call your uncle,he knows.You might enjoy better success to take the dog to work and crate her in the truck,so you can let her out on a more frequent basis coffee break,lunch and coffee break,along with getting her truck trained at the same time.I feel with the information you have supplied that the dog is far to young for you to be expecting her to hold it that long,especially when a UTI has been diagnosed and treated.Get her out and get her out often.Just before she squats to pee tell her "hurry up" she will learn to whizz on command,it's pretty handy when traveling long distances.My buddy showed me that trick and its a good one.
