| What suggestions does everyone have re: when the puppy pees/poops in their crate? My puppy is 3 months old and she is my first puppy. Therefore, I don't know when to expect her to be fully trained. I have been using the crate and at first she would not go in it, but lately she has been going pee and poop in the crate. I just hope this is not something she will get used to vs. being a teaching method to teach her to hold it longer. The times she is in the crate is not very long...4 hours max. Usually shorter than that though. Any suggestions or advice would be awesome! |

| Fortunately my 10 week old is pee pad trained but we also use a crate, the one we got was from Midwest Lifestages and it came with a divider insert that will grow with your puppy. The best thing to do is make sure your puppy only has enough room to stand up and turn around. If you give them too much room in the crate they will pee and poop on one side and sleep in the other and it could be very hard to break that habit. |

| I know this sounds mean but its not. I have a Bichon that did that and I finally had to take the pad out of the bottom of the crate. I don't know why but he stopped. |

| Thanks guys...Carolina girl - I do not put a pad in the crate...only something for her to lay on and a couple soft toys. It's the smallest crate and so she doesnt have room to move around much (what i was told to get for her size). Sebastian's mom- I have the same crate that you are talking about. Today we went and bought her a pen to put her and her crate and a pad in. Hopefully that will be better. Thanks again. |
