Help my puppy is driving me crazy?

she keeps peeing and pooping in her cage and yes for the fifth time on yahoo! the cage is the right size for her its just big enough for her to get up and switching sleeping positions.

and yes she has a strict feeding schedule and takes frequent walks, i would say atleast 9 times a day. And she is never in the cage longer than 2 hrs also while she sleeps she pees on her self and will only walk on grass but is wont walk on the street she hold back and like scratches her nails just to hold back and it pisses me off. because i have a puppy that does things that no ones puppy ever does.

    Don't kid yourself into thinking that you're the only one who has this problem. The difference between well & poorly trained dogs? Easy. Their owners. This is not to say that you're knowingly doing anything wrong, just that you might not know what you're doing. When you walk her, are you waiting until she goes before bringing her in or are you giving up too easily? The time to put her in her crate is after she goes (after giving her some play time). It may take some really long walks before she gets the idea too. Knowing when she will have to go is very important (after she eats, drinks or plays) Do you spend a great deal of time praising her when she goes outside? Negative correction isn't a good training tool. Your puppy will learn best with praise & consistency.

    How old is your puppy? because they dont gain proper control of their bladder until they are like 6 months old (also depends on the breed). And you should take the pup out to the toilet after every meal and after every sleep. Why is she sleeping in a cage at all? shes not a bird. ill never understand people who put their dogs in cages.

    That sounds like a health problem (like UTI or incontinence), not a behavior problem. Better check with the vet.
