Autumn had a crate just big enough for her as a puppy and I had to give her a bath each time she was in the crate for more than an hour. She was so scared of it she'd pee. I think it was also because she was a puppy mill dog and she spent her first 14 weeks going to the bathromm right in her cage. We got her potty trained quickly so we didn't have to deal with it for long. Is there not one tiny spot of grass outside you'd be willing to carry her to for potty training? I know many people are worried about taking there dogs outside before vaccinations but I recommend just finding one little spot and setting her down to go then taking her back inside.
