I think we are a bit confused.
Does she have any toys in the "cage" or kennel, with her while you are gone? Also, I notice she's panting A LOT. Is it hot there? Or is she really upset? It looks like she's very stressed. How long is she kept in her kennel every day? Why do you put her in there when she cries? Why is she crying?
When I'm training my dogs to use the bathroom outside, when I get up in the mornings I carrying them downstairs and go outside immediately and then put the dog down. This helps for the dog to get into the habbit of not going to the bathroom inside. Very quickly you will no longer need to carry the dog, but she will always have to go first thing in the morning, just as most people do

Also, I take the dog outside to potty often, even if they don't go then, I will keep going back outside (1/2 hrs intervals) until they do go to the bathroom outside and then PRAISE the dog highly. Then I take a break for a few hours, then start over again. It's a lot of work, but if she's already been house trained, she just needs to learn it again, at your house. It will go much faster this way.
So, tell us, where are you from?
