Okay well I've been watching videos on YouTube about teaching puppy's how to stay in his crate because every time I put my puppy in there he starts crying and winning.
I put everything that's needed in there
Food with his Drink
Toys and his Bed.
When we bought the crate we thought about buying a big one because we have a Pit Bull and we all had in mind that he was going to grow and we did not want to waste money for a new one. I was maybe thinking he doesn't like it because it's too big?
I really want some advice because he keeps having accidents in the house and my parents don't like it. But now I know more about potty training him and im going to work on it.
If you have any advice please help.

No food or water in the crate. You don't want the pup to potty, poo or pee in his sleeping area. Just let him cry it out. He will get used to it. If you rescue him from it every time he cries, he'll never get crate broke. I know it's hard to hear him cry, so I suggest put him in his crate and leave the house for 2 hours and come home and take him right outside to potty as soon as you open his door. Try that a few times, you know once a day for a few days straight and he'll soon grow to like his special area, and he'll know that you will be letting him out when you decide because your the one in charge, not him.

My dog won't get house trained. Can someone offer their opinion?

OK so I have a 6 month old King Charles Cavalier. I got her at two and a half months, and my vet told me that she couldn't go out until she was 4 months because of her vaccines. So I trained her to go on a pad. She would go on the pad sometimes but not all the time. I figured that was because she was so young and probably couldn't control her bladder/bowel movements. At four months I started to take her out so that she can pee/poop. She would pee outside and I would give her a treat but never poop. I was taking her at the right times but she would hold it in until we got home. At that point she was still having accidents at home because she was peeing more than ten times a day and I couldn't take her out that many times. At this point, I don't care if she still pees/poops in the house as long as she does it on the pad. We still go outside twice a day and she pees then. But she also pees at home on and off the pad. Mostly she pees off of the pad when she's not in the same room as the pad. What should I do? Is there a reason she still hasn't understood that peeing in the house (not on the pad) is not good? We don't hit her or yell at her severly. I just need her to understand that when she needs to go, she should run to the room with the pad and pee there.
Cedra: I'm not ruling that out completely, but I think that's very unlikely. She's very intelligent and learns tricks so easily and knows how to maneuver things to get what she wants.

Gabrielle: I ruled out putting her in any school because the ones in my country teach dogs by electrifying them when they do something wrong and they traumatize them.
CPSSLady: That makes a lot of sense and I think it's worth trying. Everone take note! This is how you answer a question. Not by calling my dog stupid. You're stupid. Phoebe's better than all of you!
Answer
Okay. My opinion would be that your dog is confused. Aside from the fact that your vet is crazy for telling you your dog can't go outside for four months, and you are starting housetraining later than most, you need to decide if you want your dog to go outside, or inside on peepads. Personally, I'd choose outside. The process is going to take longer since you're starting later. I have YET to meet a dog that pee/pooed exclusively on pads in the house. They never seem to do it 100% of the time. In my opinion, pads are just a bad idea. It's far easier to teach a dog that outside is the ONLY acceptable place to potty.
Let me start by saying if you can't take your dog outside 10x a day, she will never be housetrained. In the beginning, you must take your dog out constantly in order for her to understand she is supposed to use the bathroom outside. As she gets older, her bladder will get bigger and you will not need to take her out as often as she will be able to hold it for longer periods.
In my experience, it does take longer for a dog to poo than pee. You have to be a bit more patient as dogs like to find the 'right spot'. Generally, once she's pooed in a spot once, though, she will return to the same area outside to poo again. So bring her back to the same spot she's pooed before. Remember as a general rule, pups have to pee/poo about 20min after eating and/or drinking. So you should always bring her out then. Bring her out as often as possible and EVERY time she pees or poos outside, give her her favorite treat and praise her greatly. Let her know she's done something good. Dogs catch on quickly when they know they will be rewarded for the behavior.
Also, as long as she can still smell the spots inside where she has used the bathroom, it is going to be harder to train her. Clean those areas thoroughly-with bleach if possible. Obviously you can't put bleach on carpet, but look for a pet-stain specific cleaner. There are cleaners that actually remove the pheromones but they are expensive and hard to find. Just get a good quality pet spot cleaner and clean as thoroughly as possible. Several times if you can.
Honestly, though, I would do away with the pee pads and start crate training her for times when you have to be away. Crating is NOT cruel, your dog will learn to love its crate and actually use it as a place of safety and escape-like a wolf's den in the wild. There are plenty of training videos on youtube regarding crate training, just do a search.
King Charles' are relatively intelligent dogs, you just need to be consistent with her and patient. Take her out as much as you possibly can initially and don't get frustrated if she makes some mistakes in the beginning. REWARD REWARD PRAISE PRAISE every time she goes potty outside, she will catch on in no time..! Best of luck..
