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.
