Keep taking herr (on a leash)to the same area that you placed the poop in...keep telling her to go potty.. you might be out there 15 to 20 minutes before she decides to go If she gets distracted then you need to pull a little on her leash (for her attention) and tell her to potty. If she doesn't go within that time then place her in a crate (hopefully she won't go) and take her out 15 minutes later. While you are taking her out of the crate use the words..."wanna go outside to potty" in a high pitch tone. I use the potty word a several times (seems like a hundred). Once she goes then give her a treat and praise the heck out of her. I would use a crate to help with this. Each time she goes potty outside then that will give her more time out of her crate. If you don't have a crate or don't want to use one then place her on a leash and keep her near you at all times. This will take up alot of your time but in the long run you will be able to enjoy your baby without having to worry. I have this part mastered but the overnight pottying in the crate is what I'm working on. Last night was a good night and I hope it continues for me. Good luck, I hope this helps you.

I know you have gotten a lot of advice lready but if none of it works try this... it worked for ella. But I can see some of the negative effects it could have had....

Try setting your alarm for 4 hrs after she last goes potty. Take her to potty and if she goes, try to let her hold it for the rest of the night. If she doesnt go, get up 2 hrs later and try again. Do this until you figure out when exactly she needs to go. Then, take her out at the time she potties every night for a week....
A week later let her go an hour longer than what she had been going.
Then the next week, add another hour, etc until she is making it all night.

If she has an accident when you move her up an hour, try going 30 min instead. And continuing like that.

I hope I explained this well, and like I said, I can see how this can encourage bad habits but it worked for Ella and only took about 4 weeks until I wasnt getting up during the night at all. She still doesnt go longer than 8 hrs tho :) good luck

This one isn't going to be easy but I will give it a try. Like I said, I'm willing to try anything that will stop her from going in her crate. Thanks so much for your advice, I really appreciate it.

You have been given some great advice. I agree with her feeding being earlier. She is not to young. I am currently crate training the two puppies from my litter. I try to not put them in their crate until 10:30 and I take them out around 6am and they have held it all night. (They are a little over 12 wks) dJust keep to a routine for her and she will catch on. :)

Yay for trainer friends!
 

My good friend is a dog trainer and I call her all the time with this stuff. :P

I have been crate training my 3 month old for the last 3 weeks. She went in her crate a couple times so I called for advise and my friend first told me to make the crate smaller, if that doesnt work try feeding her in her crate. she may stop going in her crate when it is where she sleeps & eats.
as long as the times she is in and out of her crate are consistant she does pretty well.

best of luck!

Since I have been stopping her food at 4:30 - 5:00pm(being the latest) she has not gone in her crate...I just hope she continues not to go in the crate..."crossing my fingers", "knocking on wood" ...whatever it takes..LOL

Thanks, Bianca's crate is the smallest I have seen them. She has enough room to rurn around and thats it. She is out of her crate with me all day and lets me know when she needs to go outside. She is only crated over night or when I need to go out or run to the store. I like the part about placing her food in her crate when its time to eat. I will try that and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice!
