We have a cocker spaniel that keeps peeing in the we put her out for ages and some as we let her in the house she pees on the floor help please
 
Don't just let her out but take her out and stay with her, encouraging her to do a wee, then praise and treat her. If you just let/send her out on her own, all she will concentrate on is getting back in to be with you.

We tried that she’s just runs around and follows us to we go in
 
It sounds as if maybe trying back to basics/puppy "potty" training is required. Offering wees outside often, with positive praise and some would also suggest a good quality treat.
Where did she live before you got her at 5 months of age, was she in a home situation or did she live in a kennel?
Potty training can take time and patience, don't try to rush the situation.
 
She was in kennels so had no training ?? But thx for the advice regards

Treat her like she was an eight week old pup .. take her out every hour if possible with lots of pee pees when she performs give her lots of fuss ...it sounds alot of work but will be worth it in a few weeks
I've taken foster pups of this age and if you preserve can be trained on weeks ...good luck ;)
 
We once had a Cocker given to us at 5 years of age. She was a gamekeepers dog and had lived n a kennel all her life. She had no idea about house training, but luckily we had others that were family members who were all very clean.(I mean other family dogs !:rolleyes:) Teaching her was easy because every time we let the girls out for a wee our new doggie followed and did wees with everyone else. We used gentle words of praise but we don't give treats!
She learnt to be just as trustworthy as the others and learnt quiet quickly too.
I am unable to give the actual time it took her to learn, but she was a much older dog than yours.
Older dogs can be house trained and yours is still a puppy so should not be too difficult if you have the time to give.
 
Also our latest cocker took forever to gain control of THAT muscle. It matures at different rates and often a puppy can't stop itself if it gets excited or shocked! With our boy one day it just stopped- but he was nearly 8 months I reckon. :eek:
