Sounds like you are doing everything right. I am stumped and have no answers. In 26 years I have never had any problems housebreaking normal sized Cavaliers--they are literally all 95% there by 12 weeks of age. But I have had some real problems with the little ones--those that are under 2 1/2 lbs. at 8 weeks and under 5 lbs. at 12 weeks. I think about now I'd be resorting to a larger crate with a wire grate to prevent the dog getting dirtied--until she catches on. I wouldn't have the time to clean up and wash a puppy 5 or 6 times a day! The Innova can be a problem in some Cavaliers. You might want to change that for the time being. I had 2 girls that just could not eat Innova without excess pooping. Had much better luck with Canidae.
