Your puppy will pee on the pad but will not defecate?
A puppy has much less control over its bladder than it does its bowels. NO dog will defecate where it eats, sleeps, or lives - including puppies - and the puppy is most likely holding it in deliberately. The puppy should be taken outdoors daily at regular times within half an hour after eating. When the dog has a bowel movement and/or empties its bladder outdoors, give it praise to ensure the puppy learns quickly that going outside is a "good" thing. Do NOT praise the dog for urinating on the pad in the home, but gradually move the pad toward the door and eventually outside. It will soon learn that it only gets praised for doing these things outside of the home.

What to do if your puppy stills potties in their crate during crate training?
If you were my client, first question I would ask you is in regards to the size of your crate in proportion to the size of your puppy. Unless a dog is sick or has been left in a crate for an extended period of time (more than 6 hours) most puppies will not potty where they sleep. If your puppy is in a crate that is too large for him, he will have the freedom to use the other side of the crate than he sleeps to relive himself. During puppy crate training, the crate should only be big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around and lay back down. Some larger crates come with a divider so the crate can grow with your puppy.
Also, the puppy should be in and out of his crate during the day, teaching the puppy that the crate is a safe place. For example, when you can't have your eyes on the puppy 100% of the time (doing chores, taking shower) the puppy should be in his proper size crate and should be rewarded when he enters the crate with either affection, or small treat. This will teach him that the crate is a good place to be.
Where is a dog supposed to go do it business?
The dog is supposed to do its business a specially designated place around your home. This is achieved by training it.
Most likely, your dog isn't trying to attack the other dog. they are just stating their territory and showing the other dog she was there first and trying to warn her off. i think she starts crying because all dogs like to show off to other dogs and it makes them feel good. but i wouldn't call it crying, i'd say it's the sound they make when they've just claimed victory, and they are just so excited, all they can do is "squeal with delight". =D

put a fence up. of course i am only 12:)
That is an excellent answer and for 12 years old you are very mature. Everyone should keep their dogs in enclosed areas & not allowed to run free so having a fence up would be an excellent way to prevent other dogs from coming in and using the area for a bathroom. Good Answer!
Why does your dog bark at people outside the car even if you get out he barks at us?
The dog thinks of himself as your bodyguard so he thinks that the people outside the car is a threat since he doesn't know and if you get out he either will think you are betraying him or you're stepping out into danger.
