My puppy pees inside after frequent trips. Crate training failed. Help!

Question

My 4 month old puppy, Kiara, is having a lot of trouble with potty training. She will go stand by the door and make no noise, just look at us when she needs to go. Each time she does this, we let her out and she goes to the bathroom right away. The only problem is that I can let her out 5 to 6 times an hour, she will go each time and still come inside and pee!! Crate training didn't work for her, she cried all night long and wouldn't stop. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 17 days old | 22 lbs

It's possible Kiara may not be getting enough time outside to go potty. Even if she goes once and then comes back in, her bladder may not be completely empty. Keeping her outside and letting her go 2-3 times before bringing her back in may help. Other options include keeping her in a gated off area until she is potty trained/proves she isn't going to have an accident, using an enzymatic cleaner on any areas she has an accident to discourage her from going there again, or even using the tether method of attaching her to you by a leash so you can catch her before she has an accident may help. Speaking with a trainer in person, especially if she is terrified of her crate is also a good idea. I'm also providing a few links below about general potty training that may help as well. https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-tips-to-potty-train-your-dog-young-and-old/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-common-housetraining-mistakes/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-housetrain-your-dog-or-puppy-using-a-potty-cue/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/housetraining-tips-and-tricks/
