Do you have a crate? It'll help a lot, and she'll still benefit from it when she ages, as it'll be her own den (in the wild, dogs like to sleep/rest in "dens" that are just big enough to stand up and stretch out in. Gives them some security).

Crates are great ideas. All of ours were crate trained as pups and little Badger our youngest was clean at night from day one in there

When Badger was a pup he had a little furry dog with a warm wheat bag inside at night in the crate with him. He did cry for a couple of nights and it was really hard not to go to him but he soon settled and got into a routine.

Also adding a ticking clock in the crate, hidden under the blankets or something, help because they remind the pup of their mums heart beat!

In my opinion crates are the best way to go. The newer ones are nice, with the movable/removable divider, as the pup grows so does the crate. I get them used to the crate being a wonderful place by tossing dog kibble in there, with a young pup you may have to start with a sort of trail starting on the outside, leading in. Toss treats in there on occasion when they are out, they will make a habit of checking the crate once in a while.

Some dogs get used to being crated overnight quickly, other make a big fuss. I have a little trick I've done with my last two dogs, one is nearly 1 1/2, the other is just shy of 4 months. I fold up a comforter, toss it on the floor next to the crate, along with a pillow & blanket, and crash with the pup. After about a week they get used to the routine, seeing the same sleeping gear. I then set up my sleeping area by the crate, and go sleep in the bedroom, the pup assumes I am there.

Clicker training works great for house breaking, the pup is nearly housebroken, I'm not going to jinx myself by saying he is, as he is doing really good.

Sorry if you allredy know this.
Showing a dog a mess they have made and then telling them no isn't a very good way to Teach them not to potty in the house. Dog's don't understand what they have done to upset you unless you cetch them in the act and correct them.
I also reccomend crate training. It healps if you leave the door open throughout the day so the dog can go in and out as she pleases. Dexter, my 8 year old Lhasa-malteas mix, goes in his creat to have naps. It is also nice to know I'm not going to come home to a mess when I go out for the day.
