Housetraining only takes a few days max, but you have to be prepared to spend the time. A young puppy can't be expected to contain her bladder all day, and if she wees when she comes out then it's likely that she's got the idea that she mustn't wet her bed.
You need to remember that she doesn't come programmed with the knowledge that it's ok to pee on a training pad, but not on her bed. You need to spend a few days just taking her out constantly until she is confident by way of rewards and praise that toileting outdoors is the right thing to do. Even once she knows this for sure, she can't be expected to hold on for more than a few hours tops.
Maybe you need to re-assess your arrangements to care for her?
Hope this can help you..
