Your dog = your responsibility. Expecting your roommate to take the dog outside is putting a task on her she didn't ask for. If the dog was still being potty trained, then of course she's going to leave it in the crate. She doesn't want to be responsible for cleaning up accidents around the apartment. Plus, if it's still a puppy, she shouldn't have to keep an eye on the dog when it's out of the crate to make sure it isn't chewing her shoes, getting into stuff it shouldn't. It doesn't matter what dog trainers or websites say! It's not her dog to worry about.
