You mentioned that you had a sheet in there with her. (I had a towel) Once I removed this she was better about peeing in there. Good Luck! I had a similar issue with my puppy.

I mean a small dog that is also a puppy... 4 hours??? And then 4 hours at a time... how many hours during the day total? Most likley WAY TO MUCH!! Why not put puppy enclosed into the kitchen (or a room with washable floors) and put down Potty pads as well as bedding on the opposite end of the room ... this will give the puppy a chance to have more room and will allow an opportunity to learn -- bedding seperated from potty area. Also, it gives her room to move and she is then better prepared for "the rest of the house" To many times Crates are used for to many hours out of the day... leading to problems Perhaps a crate isn’t the best method..

Especially with a potty break before. Consider nixing the crate. Some dogs don't respond well, and the fact that she will pee in there is troublesome. If this becomes a habit, she may forget all her housetraining. Once this happens it's almost impossible to house train them. Instead, "puppy proof" a bathroom, laundry room, or your kitchen. There is no reason she needs to be in a crate, just confined so she doesn't get into and destroy stuff. Good luck A 6 month old (no matter the breed) is more than able to hold it for 4 hours.

Small breeds take much longer to get housebroken than large dogs and some puppies take longer than other for other reasons. I disagree with your vet. I put my puppies either in an x-pen or a large crate. The crate is large enough so the puppy has plenty of room to move around and has food and water. On the other end, I put down papers or wee wee pads. What your dog is learning is that it's okay to be dirty - exactly what you don't want her to learn. If you can get an x-pen (exercise pen), that will allow her more room and a special place to go potty, I think you will see a big improvement. It may still take awhile though before she is completely housebroken. Time, patience and TLC will win the day. What breed is your puppy?

Four hours is wayyy too long for a puppy. The puppy needs to go out every hour (or be given the chance) to the same place to urinate. She will get used to where to go if she is allowed to go there. That is also too long to go without water. I think you had better speak to a vet about taking care of a dog. You need it. She is also not getting enough exercise. What a sentence you have given her! It takes a bit of training and patience at first. Believe me, if she gets the chance to go out; she will prefer that. Most animals do not like to urinate where they live.

If your puppy is a small dog then it cuts down to more like 5. If it is just tinkle pick up her water at 8pm and only allow her a small amount in the morning. Be sure to go to your vet to make sure she is not having a urinary tract problem and watch her to make sure this isnt some sort of separation anxiety deal.
