New apartment

I could use some advice. My five month old puppy and I just moved into an apartment in a busy city. She has spent the past few months in the country and was pretty well potty trained in her spacious back yard.

We have a lot of walkways and greenways nearby, so she is getting lots of exercise. However potty training is an issue. She is crate trained and hates to go inside. However, when I take her out of the crate and take her outside, the plethora of smells in the city overwhelm her and excite her. We will walk on the greenway for up to an hour, and she will not stop to pee or poop. When we get back to the apartment, she runs around whining for a place to go. I will take her back out. Another 30 minutes. Again, too stimulated to pee or poop. Mind you I take her to the same places and find some quiet, off the path green spots and tell her potty. I have even tried standing in the same spot for up to ten minutes, hoping she gets used to the scents in that area and then is ready to go.

Nope.

We go back inside and then she ends up peeing in a corner of the room. I don’t scold her, and I have puppy pads down.

Does anyone have any tips for transitioning her to doing this outside in a busy city? Maybe it will just take time. It has only been a week.
