2 years old? It doesn't sound to me like she's ready to get out of the diapers quite yet. I would not push her and try potty training again in 6 months or so. Potty training is not really something you can make happen. It kind of needs to be on the toddler's terms. SHE needs to be ready. She clearly isnt.
I don't think your granddaughter is being stubborn, she's just not ready yet. Even though she is able to tell you that she went, SHE has to be ready to sit on the potty and go, not you. Potty training is not really "training", its about the child being developmentally ready to accomplish that major milestone. You need to step back and give it a break. Ask her everyday, several times a day if she would like to sit on the potty. If she says yes, GREAT! If she says no, then OK, no big deal, no pressure. One day, she will just start doing it. My daughter would occasionally go on the potty during her 2nd year but didn't actually start going regularly until a week after her 3rd birthday. My son will be 2 on the 24th and he is no where near being ready to go on the potty even though he makes references to his wet diaper. 2 years old is a bit on the young side. Please don't pressure her, it will only backfire and give her anxiety.

Like other posters I suggest that at 2 years old she's just too young. Let nature take it's time, when she's ready she'll be ready. No reason to make her feel she's failing at something that her body is just not developmentally ready for. Take your cues from her, it isn't a race. More important than being potty trained a 2 (which is early) is her self esteem
How old is she, exactly? So kids are just ready later than others. I have three children, two of them trained easily at about 30 months, the other was about 38-39 months and I was starting to think she would be wearing pullups forever!
At this point, do you think it is a battle of wills, a question of motivation? Does she realize she has to go but doesn't get to the potty in time, or does she intentionally have accidents? I would let her pick out some new big girl panties she is really excited about and tell her she can wear them when she stays dry for a few days/a week. I would put together a sticker chart and give her lots of positive reinforcement. I would not punish or shame a 2 yr old for accidents.
She's not ready yet. Wait until she is....3 1/2 seems to be the time that many girls can manage it.
