    Your mother is not giving you enough time. A puppy can't control it's bladder until it is at least 10 weeks old. Until then, it will go as soon as it wakes, when it is done drinking water, and about every two hours in between. You should not have got this puppy until it was 8 weeks old anyways. It needed to stay with its mother. But in the mean time, just take it out as soon as it wakes up, as soon as it eats, as soon as it drinks and every two hours in between. And PRAISE it when it goes. When it has an accident, do NOT scold it. That will only make the puppy think that going potty is bad, and you will have a puppy that hides pottying from you in your house. Also, clean the crate so that it doesn't smell like urine. Not just wipe it down, but clean it with a gallon of water with a couple capfuls of bleach. Make sure you rinse it well. This will get rid of the smell. Ask your mom for more time. Puppies can't hold their bladders until 10 weeks.

    First: Clean out the crate she is in very very well (even in the corners). She is going in there because it smells like urine.

    Second: Do what the books all say, Take her out the very first thing in the morning on a leash. Take her out again 20-30 minutes after she eats each time on a leash. Also take her out on a leash every 1-2 hours between meals. The take her out one last time at night just before you go to bed. If she is not doing real well, get up in the middle of the night and take her out. She will be good in just a short time.

    Remember to be consistant. Do this each and every day.

    There are a zillion distinctive methods to teach a dog, and sure, you'll be able to do it rapid. By rapid, I imply in lower than two weeks. You don't seem to be going to do it in two days. Are you having her pass external or within on a pad? If you may have her pass within, positioned the pads within the identical situation every and each time. crate teach her, and take her to the pad earlier than you set her within the crate and whilst you're taking her out. be certain you may have a time table and persist with it. you are going to discover that she's going to get the inspiration lovely swiftly and whilst you open the crate she's going to begin running proper beside you to the pad. Of path, inspire her and supply her a deal with whilst she does it properly. If you're having her pass external, I've visible plenty of good fortune utilizing a bell. Take some thing with a bit of bell, chime, or some thing that makes noise and positioned it low at the wall subsequent to the door. Each time you're taking your puppy external to potty, smack that bell. After a couple of days of this going to your puppy will quickly accomplice the bell with going to potty and with a deal with afterwards. Soon you are going to listen your puppy running over and hitting the bell herself to help you recognize she needs out, very similar to how different puppies scratch on the door.

    let her sleep with you at night, when she has to go, her instincts will be to wake you up when she has to go, then all you have to do is take her outside. this will work if crate training didnt work.
