But, the only other option I can say is either A. pee pads or B. a belly band. Have you tried either of those yet? Feel free to PM me and I can further help you out. My dogs will go outside, but yet they still use their pee pad in the house. It's a saving grace! One of my males gets a belly band b/c he thinks marking furniture is fun (NOT FOR ME!). |
Daisy hated being in a crate at first too. She had a fit when we closed the door to leave her when we went to work. But now that she is potty trained she LOVES her crate. We never have to close the door to lock her in anymore and we would never take it away because it is her safe haven. We have a cover over the back part and she loves the cave-like feel.
Best of luck with the belly bands. I sure hope everything works out and your baby gets to stay with you. By the way, he's ADORABLE!!!
