I don't know what else to do.
I put the training pads down and she will pee right beside it or she will go on it and then go somewhere else and go there. I take her outside. I heard a few people talk about crate training can I get some input on my situation?

Also She has recently started collecting my scrunchies ( hair ties) and bringing them in a little nest she made of her blankets and I think she thinks they are her babies. I recently took them away and now she is looking for them. Do dogs ( not spayed ) have motherly instincts?

Ok, first, go back and edit out your email address. Not safe to post it there.

Now, I highly recommend crate training. The theory is that they won't go in their crate, they'll hold it until you let them out. The key is that they go straight out from the kennel to outside so that going out to potty is the first thing on the agenda. If you let her out of the kennel and not straight outside it probably won't work. AND, in the initial stages you'll have to keep her kenneled more than what might seem "nice".

Always out to potty right before she goes in the kennel, and then ALWAYS out to potty immediately after getting out.

Also, if this is somewhat new behavior have you had her checked to make sure she doesn't have some sort of bladder infection or some other health issue?
