What are you doing to teach her that you want her to use the pads?

Personally, I wouldn't use pads, but I don't know what your
situation is, and maybe they really are the best option. If I were
going to train my dog to use pads, I'd go about it *exactly* like I
would if I were teaching her to go outside. I'd watch her like a
hawk, so that she doesn't have an opportunity to have an accident.
I'd crate her when I couldn't watch her. I'd take her to the pad
area frequently (especially after meals, after she wakes up, and
after she's let out of her crate). I'd praise her when she potties
on the pad. I'd clean up any accidents with an enzyme cleaner.

Why not crate train and take her outdoors? If you want to litter or pad
train her instead, the principal is the same - confine when you can't
watch her, leash her to you or gate/shut her in the same room with you
and watch her like a hawk, set a feeding and outing schedule that
fulfills her needs, take her to the appropriate spot and use a word or
phrase that asks her to "go" - the easiest way to start that is to use
it first thing in the morning/first thing out of the crate, when you
KNOW she needs to "go", praise her for going in the right place and
correct yourself for letting her out of your sight if she eliminates
elsewhere.

Patience, scheduling, supervision, appropriate confinement =
housetrained puppy.

Dog training for obedience is a continuous process. Dog obedience
training for obedience is basically a program that requires active
involvement of both the owner and the dog.
