I have a almost a 6 month year old miniature poodle. I got her from my aunt at almost 3 months I think. Having her for only a couple of months has been a joy for me, but I hear that these dogs need extra care and attention. Since I have had her, I've gone through the pooping in the house and everything, but couldn't get her trained to a crate. When my mother and I are gone for work or I'm at college nearby, we always take her to my grandmothers so she can play with their dogs. Now that I will be moving in May, I have been breaking of the dogs a little bit and trying to train her to a crate. I use a puppy palace that my boyfriend's mom gave me when her dog died recently and my puppy loves it! She never pooped or anything in it and would always wait. However, just recently she has been puking and pooping in it at random times of the night. Is she sick? Or does she do this so she can sleep with me? She also has very bad separation anxiety from me when I do leave her alone in her other crate that I have in the living room. Help me so I can take her with me when I move!

If she is throwing up, that is a good indication that something is wrong. Dogs do not throw up without a reason. How long has this been happening? How often? Are there any other symptoms. You may want to consider taking her to your vet.
