How do I help her to know to go outside?

Our pup is a 4 month old German/Australian Shepherd mix. Initially, we had pee pads for her to go on that she used faithfully with only a few accidents; she would pee/poop outside when we walked her but not every time. Now that we've had her like a month, she won't use the bathroom outside during the walk and waits until we get back into the house. And, she's having incidents of peeing randomly around the house! She peed on my 1 year old son's floor paino, she peed in front of the dishwasher, she's peed in the den on the carpet. I just don't understand how to help her. We play with her with squeak toys and balls, try to get her running and chasing, her talk to her, her snuggle and coo at her. This is also the first time I've had a dog since I was… maybe 10? My dad got her for my daughter for her birthday. We've been cat people till now. ANY advice would be appreciated. I just am drowning in urine and feel like a failure.
