my Bella is 7 months old. I got her at 4 months. I've had issues with her too about peeing and pooping in her kennel, where she sleeps. In Bella's case, she'd been raised in a pen with many other small puppies and it was something she got used to.
I seperated her sleeping and playing area in her crate. It's a larger one and I out a small crate in there with a blanket for her sleeping area. The rest is open for her to play in. Since I've done this, she's only pooped in her kennel once, on a pee pad, not where she sleeps.
I think the more she realizes her sleeping/living and bathroom areas are seperate, the less it'll happen. |
