Pads don't belong in a crate. If you are "crate" training then he needs to be in a small crate for only as long as he can hold it (a few hours tops). If you are pad training then you need a playpen or ex-pen. Sounds like you are combining the two and that isn't going to help with either.
As far as the smell - he is peeing on the pads - what did you expect? It smells. Make sure you clean everything with Simple Solution or another enzymatic cleaner.
My suggestion is to hire a dog walker or a pet sitter or take him to doggie daycare, although rarely do people take my advice on that. Perhaps a retired neighbor or stay at home mom would take him out for an extra few $ a day. Sorry but it's that or deal with the smell. If you aren't going to take him out enough then please at least give him enough room so he doesn't have to sit in it all day. |
