First, the crate may be too big. She should only have enough room to stand up and turn around. Get cardboard and shorten the crate or buy a smaller one if necessary. . Remember puppies can only "hold it" a few hours, so if you have to leave her all day it might be better to leave her in a bathroom with newspapers covering the floor. That way she can go and not make a mess.. You said something else though, that she will go again even if she has already gone when you leave her. My aunt's dog does this EVERY time she is left alone. The dog is pissed off and hates being left alone. Unfortunatly, you may never be able to break her of this because you leave and there is no one to stop and correct her when she goes. If you leave someone to try to correct her, she is not alone and doesn't poop. You see the problem. We were never able to break my aunt's dog of this, she just leaves puppy pads in front of the door where the dog usually goes and cleans up when she gets home.. Another alternative is to leave the dog outdoors, if possible. . I hope this helps. Good Luck
