I never was a yeller or anything like that though-I'd firmly say "no" and quickly get her outside BUT that firm no was a bit too strong for her. I stopped saying anything at all, just took her out, Praised her like crazy when she went outside,cleaned it up & figured she'd sooner or later be fine. And she was. Maybe if you try not saying anything at all-just take her out without getting upset. Basically just be patient. Give so much praise when she pees outside, say nothing when she does it inside just take her right out. Also, I take up the water at night at bedtime, just so they don't drink a whole bowl full.
