Unhappy Why does my 6 month old puppy still pee on the floor?

I have a bichon shi-tzu puppy who is six months old.I am getting very frustrated.She can stay in her kennel from 8:00 in the morning - 3:30 in the afternoon without needing to go out.she also sleeps through the night just fine.yet when I take her out she will go and within minutes of coming back inside she will just randomly piddle on the floor.She also just does it whenever for no aparent reason.when she started doing this we took her out more often but it doesn't seem to help.What can I do to teach her not to piddle in the house?

has she done this the entire training time?
are you training her to go outside, or do you use pee pads?
when is it exactley that she does this, after you take her out of the crate, after she wakes up in the morning .... ?

Some dogs take a very long time to be house traned ...

Has she always done this? It sounds like she is crate trained but not housetrained. Is she crated overnight? If so, she's spending way too much time caged and just may not know the house is part of the territory that is not be soiled.

What methods do you use to housetrain her?

Thank you for replying!
She has not always done this just in the past month or so.Yes she is crated overnight.she is NEVER in the crate when we are home and is played with like crazy and also taken for atleast 1 walk a day and each walk is usually 30-45 minutes long.The method that we use to housetrain her initially she was paper trained and we weaned her off of it and took her outside every hour with her and took her out less and less frequently and hoped that she would let us know when she needed to be taken out.but it hasn't worked.lately we have been asking her to SPEAK before taking her outside hoping she would figure it out.the reason we did this was because she likes to lay by the door without necessarily needing to be taken out.HELP!

Thank you for your reply!
She has not done this the entire time.just latly in the past month or so.She is trained to go outside she goes outside all the time.but she doesn't let us know she has to go.so we take her out alot because we don't know when she has to "do buisness".we haven't used peepads since she was 12 weeks old.There is no real pattern!she does it anytime!just whenever the urge hits her.The last time she did it was during a play session.but she has never done it before during playtime.HELP!
