I don't know what to do with this stinker!! I take her outside everymorning and try and get her to go no. 1 and no. 2 but all she does is play with the leash or pull on it like she's taking ME for a walk. When I bring her back inside, then she finds a spot to do her business. I feel like all I do is yell at her and smack her. I have the puppy pads but she doesn't use them she goes NEXT TO them. How do you get them to get it???
She's only 2 months so I don't hit her hard, I like tap her and she knows. She knows the word "NO" and comes when you whistle. She also rips puppy pad apart but only the one time. I praise her when she does go potty outside and give her a treat. I am as consistant as humanly possible. I try and keep her in her kennel at night but she cries and whimpers and keeps us up ALL NIGHT LONG! I tried putting a blanket over but that only worked the first couple nights. So I have confined her to my room at night time. When I'm away I put her in and let her cry all she wants she's not getting out. Although she has figured out how to get out.
She knows she did wrong, like a little kid who does something then looks around to see if mommy saw, she does the SAME thing!! And if she sees, me getting up she runs and hides and conveniently where I need to move furniture to get her.
Most of the time my eyes are on her. I watch her constantly. She's a Labrador/Rotweiler mix. Are these hard breeds to train?

I have a chihuahua puppy. She's 11 weeks and weighs 1.1 pounds. I would like to crate train her, but am having difficulty choosing a crate for her. From what I understand she needs a crate big enough to comfortably lie down, stand, and turn around in. I have a small cat crate. It seems very big for her, but i cannot find a smaller one. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have any advice?
