My little faith is 10 weeks old. We have been crating her while I am at work. I work a full time job but have been heading home every 2 hours to let her out to potty since I work real close to home. She has been having accidents every day in her crate. Even after going potty before I put her in there each time. Is this just part of the learning process? I am wondering how you know crate training isn't going to work for your dog. My oldest Yorkie wasn't potty trained for a few months but he did not have this many accidents in his crate.

She has no bedding in the crate or towels in there. I have a divider up so she does not have much room so when she goes she is force to be right on it.

Any advice? Do I just need to have patience and give it some time?

Thanks!!!:
