| Hellllp! Any potie training advice would be greatly appreciated. My 10 week old is a handful. I try to use the kennel, but I think my mistake (?) is using a metal one. It's big enough that he uses it for the bathroom! Does everyone think that could be why? Kaitlyn-Bruno's mommy |

| How long are you leaving him in the kennel? They cannot go for very long without peeing. Personally I've never understood the basics of kennel training. I would not be able to leave mine in a kennel when I am around. I prefer to use an x pen or the laundry room so they hae room to play. |

| Good luck.. Patience and consistancy. Your pup is young, so for now poddy pads are great. Also my pups, piddle near their sleep area, sometimes wear they sleep. So put a folded poddy pad in the kennel or crate. I believe it is because they are young. Take the pup outside when he gets up, and every few hours. If you know his routine that is even better, if not you will. Pups have small bladders so they have to go in the middle of the night. That is where the poddy pads come in. It takes me till my pups are about 6 months before they start going outside on their own and stop having accidents in the house Good luck

| For kennel training the only room that they need is just enough to lay down comfortably. They don't like to pee or poo where they'll have to sleep. It sounds really mean, but it works. Reuger is 10 months old and about 3 months ago I was able to start making his kennel larger. He no longer has accidents in it. Look up crate training and you'll find more information. Also, don't put a blanket or anything else in with them.
