My puppy has been going potty in her cage since we got her, we had blankets & pillows in there for her, but they got soaked with urine, so we took them out, now that theres just a tray in there, sht still tends to go inside her crate, then just lay in it! its discusting and stinks up the whole house, we take it out & clean it everytime, and she does it as soon as she gets back in there! she goes potty outside everytime we take her out (which is a lot) but as soon as she comes back in, she insits on going inside 100 times also! is there any suggestions to get her to crate train? ive never had problem potty training a puppy, once theyre crate trained, its easy to house train, but she just wont crate train. HELP!

I recently had a Rottweiler puppy who was like this. I had to put him on a very strict feeding and drinking schedule. I also increased his time outside, I took him out the second I let him out of the crate, and after every meal, after playtime, after a drink...it took him awhile, because like you said, he didnt mind laying in his messes. But he did outgrow it and eventually, he kept it clean even on days when I had to work long hours unexpectedly. Dont give up on your puppy, have her eat her meals at the same exact time every day, and watch to see what times of the day she needs to go the most and adjust your schedule accordingly. Dont let her drink anything if it is less than an hour to bedtime. It is alot of monitoring work, but it wont take forever, soon this will all be a distant memory!

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMUwD
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Change her feeding schedule, or put her on one. When you are at home, work on leash training her, Yes put her on a leash when in the home. So if she tries to go potty, you can tell her no and get her outside. She seems very passive aggressive. I suggest you read some books on animal behavior.

She is still quite young she may potty in her cage if left for long periods. Keep her outside to potty longer until she has finished. How much water does your pup drink. Maybe monitor her water intake, like how much and how often.

As a professional dog trainer for over 16 years, I have to tell you my strong opinion that you need these group classes for obedience training. http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?9wP3
Other pet warehouses are there to get you to buy their products and hang around their strore. And their trainers are their employees...never forget they have an agenda. Most of the trainers have very little education--if they had actual training and skills they wouldn't be there making just over minimum wage--trust me on this. But even if they did have experience and talent...a group setting is a terrible place for learning to take place. It's distraction training and it is the LAST phase of training not the first. You wouldn't have your child try to do their homework in a toy store, would you? Of course not...the level of distraction would be too high! It's the same with dogs. Having said that, these classes can be an excellent way to socialize dogs...but not to train them. And while they appear to be cheaper than a professional trainer...you have to attend many more sessions to get the same results because of the poor learning environment--so you wind up spending MORE money for less training than you would with a professional. Save your money and go to someone who actually knows how to train dogs. OR, read books and try to train your dog yourself. There is nothing they train at a Petsmart or Petco that you can't do yourself with a couple of hours of reading.

Maybe crate is too big. Question a vet immediately, it's not normal for a healthy puppy to soil their area.
