rather then a larger crate could you just close her in a room?
I have done the crate thing with a pad and I think it just prolongs the time it takes them to learn.
Casey apperently was crate trained I believe he was left in a crate almost constantly and learned it was ok.

We finally just made the crate so small he had couldn't move and only left him 3 hours at a time till he learned not to mess in it.

are you sure its not an infection of any kind? Check for stones and such and after a clean bill of health decide what is suitable for you.

if you don't mind pads then maybe even an xpen for such a small dog is like a room for a standard poodle. What about litter training her if she has holding issues?

Good luck to you I have been there with Casey and it took months

Yeah we've been trying 8 months and nothing really seems to have helped. With her restarting again I'll be bringing her to the vets next week to get checked over, and tests done if needed.

Can't use an xpen... nowhere's in the house to put one as we have carpeting throughout. If I can somehow pad/litter train her I wouldn't mind sticking her loose in a room, but can't do that as she destroys stuff (could be SA a little there too).

And she doesn't care that she has to sit/step in it. Though again, the SA as she will constantly pace in her crate. Uggghhhh.

perhaps just gate in the bathroom so that the door is not closed and she can see out still. poor little thing. Maybe if she was with the other dog she would calm down.
