i know every dog is different just like every person so maybe this is what you do but anyways..... my Zoe is almost 15 weeks and we've had her for about 2wks. We put her in the crate at nite and the very first thing I do even before I go to the bathroom is take her outside and she immediately goes pee and I make a big deal saying "good pee pee" and usually she will continue to sniff around for awhile and go poop. and then I just time things at about every hour-hour & a half. I take her out and I don't bring her in until she goes pee even if it takes 1/2 hour. Usually it doesn't though. If she is left alone, she's in her crate and every time I take her out of her crate, we go outside until she goes pee. She did have an accident in her crate but it's only been once or twice and she is left 6 hours on they few days that I work and seems to do fine. Anyways, I hope I've given you something new to try. Good luck - it isn't easy but just keep trying.
