I adopted our puggle from a humane society and was told that she is a submissive pottier. I am not sure if the previous owners were abusive but they certainly did not train her. She will be 1 in the end of January and we have had her for about 3 months.
Well I started crate training her, but it doesn't always work. She must have been in in one before, because she went right in and laid down. She knows what it is for, she plays with her toys in it, chews on her bones in it and sleeps in it even when we are home. She has pooped and peed in her crate, and continues to do so in the house. She has peed outside only when I take for her a walk. After about 3 weeks, she finally started going poop and pee outside in the backyard. She understands that she is supposed to, but she doesn't whine when she needs to go outside. We have just moved and she now has a huge backyard to play in.
I let her sleep with me at night now, but some mornings wake up to poop in 4 different places and when I let her out she doesn't go.
How do I get her to always go outside and also teach her to let us know when she needs to go.
I do not want my carpet to start smelling of urine! The carpet is very dark brown and I can not see where she goes.

Any suggestions, on crate training, house training and not chewing??

What you need to do is watch her very carefully and take her out and walk her around when she needs to go. Then praise her lavishly. Many of th edetails you need are in the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251809
The last paragraph covers some of the difference with an older dog.

The solution to chewing is crating her when you can't watch her and the same careful attention as the housebreaking will take.

Accidents and damaged possessions are the fault of whoever was watching the puppy. When you are watching it, immediately correct it as soon as it goes for anything except its own toys. In a quiet, but firm voice ''Bad dog, its name drop!''. Gently remove what ever and replace it with one of her toys, or if older, hold eye contact until the puppy drops it.
