There's a reason this breed has such issues. Breeders/owners don't treat them like dogs and they're small and don't have as much concept as to what is their "den".

Treat her as you would a large breed dog. Stick to a tight schedule and try to remove any urine/poop scent in the house/crate. You may not be able to smell it, but she still can. Buy new bedding for the crate if necessary. Take her out first thing in the morning. Feed her. Take her out 15-30 minutes after eating. Take her outside again in 1-2 hours. Repeat this. Don't give her free access to food/water. Feed 4 or so meals on a tight schedule a day and take her out 15-30 minutes afterward.

Keep her tethered to you via a leash when she's inside. Gently correct if she goes inside (she has no clue this is bad... be careful, you don't want her to avoid going in front of you) and take her outside when she does have an accident. Reward her like crazy when she goes in the desired area. Like she jumped through hoops.
I thought this person was already banned before? I guess they were suspended last time?
