And yes, that crate IS gargantuan and that IS scrap wood blocking off a little more than half of it.

Yes, dogs love to pee/poop on things that are absorbant, that's why paper training works. It might seem cruel, but better take it out of there. That's why they always pee on the carpet when there is perfectly good tile 2 feet away ;)

This dog, by choice, aims for concrete, laminate, the rug protector under my desk chair, and several other solid things.... but ALSO pees on carpets and towels, so, hey, worth a try!

LOL! Well, in addition, once the dog has peed/pooped in a spot, I'm sure you've heard that the smell stays, and serves as a marker for where to pee and poop again.. you need a cleaner that removes ammonia traces, etc. I'm not really sure other than that, but I've been told that if a dog looks at you while they do it in a place they know is bad, it's an act of dominance. I guess the best advice is to take her out as much as possible, and make sure she goes in the right place. She'll get the hang of it eventually. Also, there are behavioral signs that show a dog is about to go, you gotta keep your eyes on them constantly, sniffing and circling in certain spots, butt clenching, are signs that the dog is about to "go".

I've got that. And she hasn't hit the same spot more than once, yet, except inside the cage.

And I've removed the towels from the cage for tonight.

So we'll see!
