and it snowed for weeks, so she was trained to puppy pads. Seven years later, it is still very nice that she will use those pads when the weather is horrible.

I think to train your dog to use the shower, you could bring in some grass she pees on, and put it in the shower, and also pick up some of her poop and put it in there. Then keep encouraging her to go. If she does, use rewards. Try again at the same time next day.

Another thing I do when walking outside is say "go pee" and "go poo" at the place she usually goes. You could do that and then start saying it near the shower.

Some owners are unable to walk their dogs due to illness or injury. There's nothing wrong with having pads as a back-up, or even the shower.
