| this is reall making me angry I have a 1 year old yorkie mix. The main problem is him going in thwe crate. It is only small enough for him to turn around and lay down in. When he goes in there he crys for us to clean it. Thats how we know he went. I clean the crate about 4 or 5 times a day! We tried confining him to a small room and he went in there also. When he is in the house he runs to the door and the second he gets there he either poops or pees. So we know he is somwhere heading on the right track. he just wont wait for us. I mean if anyone can help me with his crate problem or suggest anything i will be grateful. If you need more info please let me know because i have tried books, training classes, and i havnt made my decision about calling a animal behaviorist. I mean anything to get us on the right track is great. He does not go in th crate if he is home alone, only when he sees someone. Such as in the morning when i get up he sees me and the second i get out of the bathroom he went poo and pee in the crate. Someties i really need to use the restroom before i take him out. Please help me!! |

| I was having the same problem with Venus last week. She's now 12 weeks old. Someone suggested put her crate in an x-pen, and putting wee wee pads in there with her. I made one, but its only 24" tall, so she came over it the first night Met me in the hall when I got up! It took a day or so, but she's finally learning what the wee wee pads are for. At first she played with it, next was laying on it, lol. Now she's staying in there, for how long, I don't know. And she's using the wee wee pads too. She hasn't messed up her crate since! Seems she's using the wee wee pads more than she's going outside now, and we did the potty, praise treat outside. I'm sure others have good ideas too, but this (so far), is working for me. Oh, btw....this is a great site here, and lots of help is here, folks are really great about giving different views that what we been doing. I've spent a lot of time here looking at different things others used and have found some great info here! |
