Hi Becca,
My Snickers was trained on the potty pads too until he got his tempert shot and then he just ran with them in his mouth and scratched them to pieces. As for the crate training. Snicks would cry all night too until one night I put a towel over the crate and he couldnt see me, so he would fall fast asleep. I know it sounds crazy, but I think as long as your little one sees you she is going to cry because she wants to be near you. I say you try it and see what happens. I am still trying to potty train Snicks, so I have no help on that. When I figure it out. I will let you know. Ha....Good Luck and be patient
Lauren...Mommy to Snickers
