This is a very good point that I forgot to mention...Maximus still does not have free roam over the house when I am not home..I did not crate train but I gated him off in the living room with his food, water, pee pads and, toys and his crate..when we get home that is usually where he is anyways!!!...when I get home I open the gate and shut the bedroom and bathroom doors so he can follow where I go..but otherwise he is usually in the living room with us!!! There are too many things that they can get into even when they are potty trained so it is good to get them used to having a set space when they are alone so that way when they are older they just accept that as "normal"!! |
