Tanner is not necessarily in the crate for 20 hours a day either. That is on the high end of the spectrum. But I will say that it is definitely hard for the both of us and I hate leaving Tanner in the crate. Trust me. Chris can vouch for me on this.
And Chris does love the puppy and want the best for him (we are not rehoming him). Like I've mentioned before we've thrown around the play pen and x-pen idea and we're definitely loving that.
Tanner is getting better about leaving his poop on the newspaper. Getting him to stay out of the kitty litter is a different story though.  It's disgusting! |
Small world! We have 1 lab and 2 yorkies. We love both breeds!
Someone mentioned the pee pad idea and Chris was concerned how much they cost. Pee pads (or wee wee pads or whatever you wanna call them) will probably work better than newspaper bc they have a scent that attracts the dog to it and makes it wanna pee on the pad. You can get them at Walmart for really cheap and they last for days. They will last as long as you want them to and since yorkies don't eliminate much, they can definately last 3-4 days per pad. What I did was when there was poop on there, I would just pick the poop up and flush it but still use the pad for subsequent uses. And they are seriously SO CHEAP at Walmart! So that would definately be something I would look into if I were you.
As far as the crating vs. x-pen. How big is the crate he's in? Is it wire? Plastic?
