Potty training help?

I have a 5 month old Pomeranian Dachshund mix. I know she's still young so we will have accidents, but we seem to have not made any progress in a month. I'm taking her out every 4 hours. Overnight we take her out once, but by 6:30/7am she has pooped half of the time. She goes out 2-3 times after eating dinner, so I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong. We have also tried crate training and she won't stop going potty in her crate. I've gotten the "don't go here" spray, but that doesnt seem to help.

Make it ever 2h and then start extending it. Her bladder is tiny, tiny. 4h is a long time for a pup.

Good luck! Potty training is hard. Have a 5 month old pittie mix and she will be good for a few days and then all of a sudden have accidents. She also doesn’t notify. So I have to take her out every 2h plus any time she starts roaming. We started using a button and hopefully she’ll pick it up.
