My now 2 yr old yorkie, did the same thing your little girl is doing. He didn't mind being in his crate and sitting in his mess. I got so tired of bathing him everyday for 2 months. So, I decided to put pads down in my laundry room at night and gated it off. I put water, food, toys in there and he used the pads all on his own. I did not want to pad train him, his breeder had started, so i guess that's what he wanted to do. Now, it's been a yr and he has free roam of the house, occasional accident because he doesn't let me know when he has to go out. After setting him up in a small area using pads, i didn't have to give those everyday baths. Now, he sleeps in my room without being crated, but if i have to leave him for a long period, i put him in the laundry room and he uses the pad while i'm gone. if it's raining out. i put him in the laundry room every 3-4 hrs to do his business. other than that, he will potty outside. do you have a separate 'small' area to do a set up that way?
