She goes to the training pads perfect, all by herself. But uses it in the crate. She is only 2.4lbs. and it is so cold here. I don't want to take her out. I take her out for a minute or so just to get her use to the outside. Vet says she's healthy.

The crate should only big enough for her to stand up, lie down and turn around. If yours is too big, get a crate separator that you can adjust as she grows.
You also need to take her outside often and praise like crazy when she does her business.

I am sorry to say this is more of an owner problem than a dog problem. You can't reinvent the wheel.
You need to change the way you are living with this pup. All interaction must be outside. When the dog comes inside it goes in the crate – there is no free time. None at all in the house. Not for months. If the dog is out of the crate in the house it's on a line – your eyes are always on it. Take the dog out every hour in the beginning.
Diapers are crazy. Really crazy. Whoever told you to use them is an idiot !!!!

I have a 7 week old Aussie. I take her out very often. It is cold...but she wants to potty outside and won't use the training pads. I never leave her in her crate more than 3 hours....unless it's over night. At night I get up and take her out when she starts whimpering. She has started sleeping through the night recently. I would try to take her outside as often as you can.

It is her age. She hasn't quite got the hang of housebreaking yet. I have house trained several puppies, and what worked for me was taking them outside about a half hour after they eat. Also, if you see them sniffing around, or going in circles, take them out.
Places like Walmart or the pet stores sell those pads you can put in her crate that catch the pee, especially overnight. But you should be consistent about housebreaking her during the day.

I used to have a puppy and they all pee in the crate.This what I used to do.Buy some puppy-sized treats.Every ten minutes take your puppy outside and with the treats.Every time she goes in the yard, reward her.But if she goes in the crate scold her immediately and put her eyes in the direction of the mess.Pretty soon the puppy will realize that if she wants a treat, she will have to go outside to do her busyness.Hope it works for you!!

The puppy is simply marking the bed as her own. As she grows up, she will realise that nobody will steal her bed and will begin to settle down. Dachshunds are known for their protective behaviour so this is normal for her age and breed.

It is normal. My little German Shepherd pees in his bed. It is because puppies need to go to the toliet once every 3-4 hours and they do tend to wait until the last minute.

hi, just compare to human babies even up to the age or 3-4 yrs of babies urinate in the bed. as the time passes it will be corrected. only thing is that when he pees you just tell him that what he has done is wrong . always use same words to scold him and to appreciate him.

Dogs, normally don't pee where they sleep, take her to the vets, she may have a UTI (urinary tract infection)
