Maybe she really has to go and figures that's a better place than the floor or carpet. If you see her going to the crate DO NOT SCOLD HER. Quickly whisk her outside and when she goes outside praise her highly. If she poops in the crate, take it outside and show her "this is where it goes" Dogs love to make their people praise them, responding much better to praise than scolding. Is there somebody home to take her out? If she is left alone, and that's when she goes in the crate -- that is a good thing -- she is not soiling your home. I crate trained about a dozen lab/mixes. They would all sleep in the back of the crate and urinate & defecate by the door. 15 weeks is not that old; her bladder is probably still small and she needs to go more frequently. A word of advice -- when you take her out don't start playing or praising until she actually goes and then smother her with love treats & play.

Dogs hate being in the own fices and, will hold it as long as possible. However if your dog has enough room to not be in the fices then she will go to the bathroom if she has to. You could try cutting off a section of the crate somehow until she gets bigger, or go out and by a smaller crate.

The only thing I can think of is too put his/her food bowl in the crate. Animals won't pee/poop where they eat . Are you sure your pup is getting out enough and doesn't have a kidney, bladder or other urinary problem? If he continues after you put the food bowl in, I would see the doc. I do have to say most of my experience is with older dogs- never had to potty train.

Take her out 20-30 minutes after she eats.
A puppy can only hold her bladder one hour per month of age. Your pup is 3 1/2 months, so can only hold it for 3 1/2 hours. Asking any more is asking too much.

If it's still kind of like a puppy, Whever you see mess clean up the mess with 409 or any chemical cleaner... but if you see it making mess get a spray water bottle and spray it and shout " NO " bad ( girl/boy) and you need to repeat it over and over until it learns. But if you can ask it if it needs to go and take it out If u can make it often) and have a schedule for it because its still small it can still be trained with a schedule and commands.

They really do not want to go in their crate. Either the crate is too big ( it should only be big enough for the pup to lay, stand, and turn around in) or you are not taking her out enough. They need to go out every hour or so.

Make her eat and sleep in her crate. They are not supposed to go to the bathroom where they sleep and eat. Make sure she does not have a bladder infection also. That could be a possibility.

Trust me, I know from experience...You need to get her on a schedule. Take her out to "potty" on a schedule... morning, noon and before bedtime.
This will take some time and patience but it does work- I've had several dogs. Take her out and let her go potty. DO NOT say "go potty" "go pee" constantly. DO say "good potty" or "good pee pee" IMMEDIATELY AFTER she does go. This reinforces that word/phrase with that act. If she does not go in ten minutes, take her indoors and try again half hour later. Repeat until you succeed.
Keep her on the schedule. After a week or two, you should be able to get her to go potty on command even in between her schedule. I've used this technique with most of my dogs (now I have a doggie door) and it works well.
Good Luck and remember to be patient. Babies need time to learn.

Well normally dogs only do that if they are always stuck in their crate. You should let your dog out side to go to the bathroom before you put him/her into his/her crate.

she doesn't want to pee in her crate.
she wants to please you.
it's you who needs to get her out of the crate to a place to pee.
15 week old puppies need to pee when they wake up after the exercise after they eat after they drink after the nap and before they go to bed.
it's you who needs to be trained to get your puppy to stop peeing in her crate. not the puppy.
