I bought some puppy pads for my dog. She's used it once and hasn't
used them since. She's had accidents sort of near it but not on it
since. Does anyone have any tips? or is there a spray that I can
spray them with that will attract her to them? Please help!

They aren't magic. They require training, which I personally feel is
better used to teach the dog to go outside. Your choice of course, but
she needs your help to understand where to eliminate.

I agree. but when I'm not home is when I'm wanting her to use it. I
didn't raise her and I don't have problems with my other dog. it's
her, she'll just use it anywhere. So, a friend of mine suggested
getting puppy pads and see if that helps out.

It doesn't matter if you didn't "raise" her (how old is she?). Treat
her like the unhousebroken dog that she is - train her as you would a
puppy.

Are you confining her? Taking her to the spot? Cleaning thoroughly?
Feeding her on a schedule and making sure she has a lot of opportunities
for success?

Bad aim? I have seen this with some female dogs. They put their front
paws on the target and expect to hit it.

Really, you are just going to have to train her.
