HELP !!

Ali, What fantastic pics of Bree - a real natural !! She must be learning so much from the big boys and girls, Lola is as well, but not quite so fast ( in fact very slowly) !!
HELP...!! Has anyone got any tips on how to housetrain Lola ? She really doesn't seem to have a clue. I've done ALL the usual stuff, rewards, " pes and poohs" when she DOES perform outside - potting on waking up, potting before & after feeding etc, - it all worked so well for Minden, she was potty trained within days, but Lola - not a hope !! I know she's very young, and comparisons are odious, but we have friends with a 9 week lab, and she was trained within a couple of days!
Yesterday I was playing with her on the grass in front of the house, she stopped, looked at me, went into the kitchen, peed and came back outside ready to play. She obviously knows that she has to pee somewhere special, but she's got it the wrong way round !!
Any tips from anyone would be gratefully received, she has to go to work with my husband for 3 days a week soon - he's in the Army, and they allow dogs in the office - but puddles won't go down very well..
Thanks!
