| How big is the crate you have her in? Make sure that it is just big enough for her to turn around in. If it is too big, she can go potty in one spot and sleep in another. Good luck- I know how difficult and frustrating it is!!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i agree with magneticgal. Also where did you get your puppy from, a breeder or petstore? sometimes when they are from petstores they are so used to peeing and pooping in their cage that it doesn't phase them at all. i know its hard and frustrating. what kind of food and potty schedule do you have your puppy on?

| My puppy would pee in her crate every night but when she turned about 7 months old she stopped. Guess she wasnt able to hold it all night. But now she can.

| My Gordon did the same thing for about a week when I first got him. Then I put him on a feeding and potty schedule. His last feeding at night is 6:30 PM.....I take him out to potty afterwards. If he doesn't potty then, I take him out every 30 minutes till he does. I also walk him before I put him in his kennel at night. It seems to tire him out and he sleeps all night. I get up at 5:30 AM and we hurry and take him out. He hasn't done anything at night in his kennel since I started this......and he really enjoys his nightly walk.....even if it is only around the yard.

| i had the same problem with my italian greyhound. no matter how small the space was, it was like he would potty and play in it. like he liked it or something. it was so incredibly frustrating. the only thing that seemed to help is walking him regularly. he was the first small breed dog that i ever had and i just didn't realize how often he needed to go potty. they are so tiny, they just can't hold it long. we have bells on the back door so maggie can let us know when she needs to go out and sometimes it seems like she is ringing the bell every 5 minutes. but when they have to go, they have to go. and if they are so tiny, they just can't hold it the way bigger doggies can. i dont know your history with dogs or anything like that, i am just saying maybe you could try walking her a couple of times a day. it will help to tire her out a bit, give her a way to let out some energy and when they go walking around, they tend to eliminate more and get more out than a quick trip outside might do. i really hope this gets better for you. I know how hard and frustrating it is. I didn't know how I would survive. I dealt with it for 10 months and then starting walking him a lot. 10 months!! it was horrible. a total nightmare. i will pray that this passes and gets better for you quickly.

| You are not alone in your frustration - potty training dogs is one of the most frustrating times for dog and owner. Just remember that she is a baby and with time and patience she will finally get it. I have double trouble - my girls are 12 weeks old and I have them in a kennel that is part of an x-pen. I allow the girls a larger play area with a piddle pad on one end. During the day they just run to the pad and do their business. I only take them out to play on the kitchen floor when I can watch them constantly! If they act as if they are going to piddle I encourage them to go back into the x-pen and to their pad. At night I make the x-pen only big enough so they step out of their crate to the pad. I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say we are about 85% trained. When there are accidents I just clean them up with no fuss - I put them in their kennel and clean it up. I don't say a word to them - I don't draw attention to what I'm doing. When they do go to the pad I praise and tell them what smart, wonderful girls they are. They love that. Just remember it takes time - few dogs get it quickly. Patience, perserverence and persistance. Good luck!!

| I don't think my pup at three months could hold her pee pee/poopy and didn't sleep with me for months. She was kept in the kitchen, gated with her crate open during the night. Same during the day until she figured out how to use her paper. The paper gradually turned into letting me know she wanted to go outside. I was the one who was trained first and then she caught on. Your baby is very young and probably confused about exactly what to do. My advice would be to be very patient, clean up her pee & poopy, and it won't be long until she can hold it longer and recognizes the paper or pad as her potty station. Good luck
