I have a new puppy, and I'm having a little trouble with her potty training. My last dogs never did their business inside their crates, but this one does on occasion. She won't pee in her crate, but yesterday, I took her outside to let her do her business, and she peed almost immediately. She hadn't eaten recently, so I thought it would be okay to put her in her crate for five minutes while I did a chore. Her crate is fairly large compared to her, but I've partitioned a space in the front of the cage that's only big enough for her to rest comfortably. That used to be enough for my other dogs to keep them from messing in their crates, but in those few minutes, she did a "number two." This is the third time she's done this, so there's obviously something going on. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with her training before she decides her crate is her bathroom (though I think she might already have). What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix this?
