We have got a 9 week old puppy (Boxer) she is really good throughout the day and we have had very few accidents. But when it comes to bedtime and we put her in her cage (large) which we have split half bedding and half newspaper she winds her self up and poos on the newspaper, but with her being wound up she flicks the paper and then we have poo everywhere every morning. As we are trying to teach her that her cage is her retreat if she wants to get out of the way of kids, etc. and we know that she is really young. We are just asking to see if this will hopefully sort itself out.

Are you taking her out right before bedtime? You may need to cover her cage with something (old sheet or towel) so she can't fling it outside of the cage. Perhaps leave a radio on softly for her, she may be doing this because you are leaving her alone.
Take her out right before bed.
As she grows she will be able to hold her waste longer.
