To crate train the dog it has to be taken out on a timely basis to

when does he get to go potty outside of the crate?
I have to be honest and say,
no wonder he is lying in his urine. He can't hold it that long he
has no choice. Poor pup. |
Good Post!
Well, if you don't have any other way of changing your schedule and you want to keep the dog, I would put him in a crate. I would use a small area, like a bathroom, kitchen or laundy room. You put the crate/bed on one side and the pads/potty area on the other side of the room. That way he will not lay down in his own waste, because he has the option not to.
I out of the house for at least 9 hours, and before Bengi was potty trained he would stay in the kitchen. It is cruel to crate a dog for more than 4/5 hours, even more if they are pups.
