Puppy Backsliding on Potty Training?

I have a 3.5 month old puppy. She was doing very well with peeing on puppy pads, but would not poop on them ever. She did very well going potty outside. I taught her the phrase "go potty". Then my husband and I went on vacation for 5 days while my brother puppy sat. Now she does not want to go on the pad, even when I bring her to it and tell her to "go potty" when she wakes from a long nap.

She has started to pee on our bed, which she also sleeps on, and her own bed, and the couch, and also the doorway to our bedroom. At first I thought it was because my husband had previously bought lavender scented pads and lavender scented floor cleaner, but we have changed both. We are very frustrated, and don't know what to change to get her re trained

Your poor little puppy is confused with the change in top male! He/she is marking territory all over the place in an effort to get things right.

Must have been very disturbed by the change. Just start training again, with love and patience and it will soon come right.

I'll go back a step with the training, I love her very much and would never get rid of her over this, it is just frustrating and disheartening

This dog had an upset in the schedule. I think you have to be firm and patient. You may have to take her outside more often and praise her when she does the right thing.

The goal is to get her to do her business outside.

I'll try that, we were just doing the pad inside because she usually gets up to pee in the middle of the night, or for when I'm cooking/cleaning and she wakes up from her nap and pees wherever
