I didn't read any posts after this one of yours, but
I have a cryer also. He is also a mamma's boy and I have to hold him a lot (which I totally love). It takes tons of patience, sometimes more than I feel I have in me (not him alone, but all 3 puppies at once). Count to 10 and calm down. If you are stressed, your pup is going to be a stressed puppy. Put the crate by your bed on a nightstand or something and put your fingers in the crate to comfort him. I also say "hush" in a low, deep, calm tone and tap the top of the crate a little with my other hand so he doesn't think it is me. It is working out great now. You will find that if you hold her and cuddle her you will bond with her and wouldn't trade her for a million bucks. If you feel you just can't get in control of the situation, you may be right in thinking of returning her. Don't put her outside alone even if you aren't mad at her. She is just too young, still a baby. If you aren't consistent, she will have more troubles learning. I hope it works out for you. Please know that I am typing this in a gentle tone of voice.
