You will need to clean up all the mistakes with an enzyme cleaner that gets rid of the protein in urine, otherwise she will continue to seek out those same spots and urinate there. When removing her from the crate, place her directly on a pad, and praise her for going pee on the pad.

Well put! Great info!
