    Is she flying with you or in cargo? I would suggest getting a different type of crate and start over with training. (hopefully that will get rid of some/many negative connections she has with the current crate.) Crate Games dvd has some excellent suggestions for getting a dog into a crate and liking it. If you can't get another crate, you could you take the current crate apart and do some crate games then put it back together and start over with the start of the crate games. Go slowly. If you're thinking about drugs, you will absolutely need to do one or more "test" runs before the flight.

    Patty nailed it… when you have an issue, you have to go back as if a puppy and start anew, which means you leash her to you at all times, say NO if she starts to go, take her out, praise and treat. The good news is unlike a puppy, it will go faster. But making really sure the room has been cleaned of odors using some enzymatic sprays/cleaners is a must. http://www.cuhumane.org/topics/hseold.html

    If no UTI, perhaps a different crate? If she is used to plastic, try open wire, or vice-versa. Is the crate in your bedroom? If not, she may be having some anxiety issues, and moving the crate and changing it may help. Most 'good dogs' who are comfortable in their routine don't start waking up and crying and peeing for no reason.

    He has a wheat/ beef/salmon/duck allergy and his tummy gets upset & bubbly. He can only eat his food no treats. So goes where he is starving to not wanting to eat. He has had this most of his life. He has been doing well on the Blue Buffalo Lamb & rice, but manages to leave the life bits. I can feed him a handful of food and out come the life bits, that our other dog Hoover vacuums up.

    I find that when my b's get older, they get more clingy..they follow the humans around, they want to be right by them and they take comfort touching them. I have an older b and I treasure these times…I will call on these memories, in my mind, when my beloved boy passes...until then, if he wants to be where I am I am good with that.
