Dogs generally won't do their business where they sleep unless they have absolutely no choice in the matter and are desperate. Before the dog is crated for the night, it should be given an opportunity to empty its bladder and its water bowl should be removed until the morning.
If the dog seems to be doing this regularly, however, it could indicate a bladder infection or other problem out of the dog's control and it should be checked by a veterinarian. Again, under normal conditions, a dog will NOT urinate where it must sleep.

You want to get a Yorkshire terrier But your mom says when you go to school it will be peeing all over the house what should you do?
But a small crate for your dog from a pet-store. Put the dog in here when you go to school. The dog will only mind the first couple of days, but whenever you put the dog in there give it a treat. The dog will start thinking of the crate as its bed, and will learn to like it. This will make it so the dog will not pee in the house, and it probably won't pee in the crate either, since it wouldn't want to pee in its bed.
Are dogs kept in cages?
No, dogs should never be 'kept' in cages. They should be able to walk freely. That should not be confused with a dog 'crate', which is in the form of a cage, but not for the same function as a rodent cage for example where the animal lives inside it. A dog crate replicates a dog's 'den' and gives it a secure, familiar place to go inside if needed. There are ways of training the dog using the crate, and it can be used to transport the dog on a short trip. However the dog is not 'kept' in the crate, long term.
Your puppy is not doing well in potty training what should you do you are crate traing her now and all she does is pee and poop in her crate?
Either invest in a smaller crate, or block off a part of a larger crate to make the dogs space smaller. The dog will start the think of the crate as is bedroom, and it won't want to go to the bathroom in its bedroom. If there is room for the dog to go to the bathroom and then lay in another area where it can stay away from the feces, the crate is too big. Dogs do not want to lay in their own feces, so a small crate would help to curb this habit.
