crate problems

[dakota NB]

Dakota is peeing in her crate when we leave her in it, she tends to hold in her poop, she pees all over her blanket almost everytime we put her in her crate, which is as little as possible. a couple hour at a time max 3.5 hours I have had to throw out some of her toys and wash her and her sheets daily..She does not mind a bath but tends to shiver after one i hate to see her so cold. I wish there was a simple answer to this too she crys when i close the door it crate breaks my heart, She is only 10 weeks old.

At ten weeks of age I woud start at the beginning and try to get her to like and actually enjoy being in the crate. There are numerous threads here at BW concerning ways to achieve this.

As far as peeing in the crate, it's not unusual for a 10 week old to NOT be able to hold it for that long. How much room is there in the crate? If it is big enough she will use one area for potty and the other end to attempt to stay dry. You may need to make it smaller with some sort of divider, they tend to want to keep their own private areas clean.

I have found that shivering during and/or after a bath is not always from being cold, it could be a reaction of being afraid. Just my thoughts.
