I think diapers will only hinder training. Do not let her have full run of the house. Limit her to a small area with the pad until she demonstrates perfect habits, then increase her freedom accordingly. When you can't supervise closely, this may be an xpen or a small room. Another method is to tether her to you.

not a fan of diapers unless we are taking about a dog in heat or a senior dog. They don't help to train your dog and can make it harder. Plus if you don't change it pretty quick you can end up having a dog with a rash also if they poo in it I can not imagine all the poo stuck in the hair.

Totally agree with Maximo. If you use diapers, she won't learn to hold. If you're expecting to let her roam everywhere, start with smaller space and increase gradually. Or put pads in different places and as she gets older/better, again gradually take away one pad at time.

I tried diapers... As long as she just pee in them it was fine. But when she would poop it would smash up against her fur and was a big mess. I also had to put her a onesie on just so she wouldn't take it off.
