[Suzie Q]

I recently adopted a 2 year old Jack Russel from a family. She is supposedly crate trained and house trained, however, the crate training is not proving to be very good. She doesn't seem to see her crate as a den but more of a bathroom. She has been very good about not using the bathroom in the house but every time i put her in her crate even if for just 10 min, she goes to the bathroom. I am not confident enough yet to leave her alone without putting her in the crate, but I don't know what to do to break her of her bad habits. Any advise would be appreciated.
