Bear with me, I'm using an old keyboard with sticky keys and just lost a long post I made ....

You guys probably conditioned Baby to barking in her crate. Never let her out while she is barking, whining, pawing the door, etc. Only let her out when she is calm. If she thinks barking will get her out of the crate, then she will keep barking until you let her out.

The crate should always be a positive place with soft blankets and safe toys. You can also play soft classical music.

When you take her out of the crate, put a leash on her and lead her to the backyard (to the same designated potty area every time). If she potties, PRAISE her and treat her and act like she did the best thing in the world. If she doesn't go, lead her back into the house and put her in her crate. Wait 15 minutes then go back and try again. When she finally does go, let her offleash.
