As title says, my gf and I are absolutely struggling with potty training our 6 month old puppy.

We got her December 31st, and we can't seem to get her to understand at all to go outside to poop and pee.

We tried training treats, but she doesn't like treats like that.. She takes it then immediately spits them out. We've tried 5 different brands.

We can't use any puppy pad training because she destroys anything made on paper and cardboard the can get her paws and jaws on. She's destroyed more than her fair share of toilet paper rolls.

We can't do any type of crate training because if we're gone, she poops and pees in her crate, in her food and water bowls, and rolls around in it and gets poop and pee all over her fur. And when we are home, she barks absolutely non-stop. We placed her in her crate for half an hour and she never stopped her barking once. (By barking I don't mean her normal alert bark, I mean like screaming at the top of her lungs like a baby goat)

We have a bell we're trying to get her to use. She has used it once or twice, but never consistently. We are also fairly certain she was just playing with it and not actually using it to tell us she needed out.

We try to take her out often if we're home, every hour or so, but 80% of the time, we'll take her out, and all she'll do is run around the yard and play for 30 minutes. Or she'll just stand by the door to go in if it's cold or raining. She won't pee or poop half the time. We take her inside, and she'll immediately pee or poop. She's done so many times. If she does go, we always give her praise and pets and the like as that's really the only form of "reward" we can give her.

And as I said before,we can't crate her so she's free while we're at work, and we have yet to come home from work and not have poop or pee anywhere. She loves to go underneath the bed, in our carpeted bedroom. We try to get my gf's father to take her out for us if we're gone, as he lives in the apartment next door, but he's 68 and constantly forgets to do so.

We can't take her for walks *to go to the bathroom* because all she wants to do is run around and play. She never stops to actually go. We've gone for an hour walk before, and she never stopped to pee or poop once. We got home, she immediately peed in the bathroom. Edit: we take for walks. She just doesn't go to the bathroom when we do so.

We are struggling mightily. All the tips online we've looked up, either don't work or we can't really do. Anything to help?

I downloaded a few of them, but they all fucked up the defense. Tried playing as the Steelers and they had Watt as the SAM instead LEdge, Harmon as LEdge, Joseph-Day at REdge, etc, and they full on changed their positions to. Like Watt just straight up isn't even an OLB anymore, he's just a straight up SAM backer. Highsmith is a Will instead of REdge.

Id change it around myself, but I cannot for the life of me find a base depth chart anywhere that shows all the sams, mikes, wills, and I don't know if changing them to their proper positions will give them the out of position penalties or not
