She'd done her business and then covered it up so she didn't have to lay in it! Smarty pants! Well now I feel I need to take the towel out so she can't do that, but I feel like she shouldn't have to lay on the hard plastic! I think the crate is too big too, it's a PetTaxi, the smallest I could find but she's still able to do her business in the front and then curl up against the back of it. How do I go about restricting her space in there? Has anyone had to do this when their yorkie was a puppy? Sorry so long... |
i'm pretty sure we have all been there
stuff towels int he back... i rolled them up and used them to creat a VERY small space... Layla could only lay down... now i'm assuming crate training is just a night time thing right?? if this is the case that wil work great... when she cries to let you know she needs out.. bring her out.. praise her and put her back in.. if you ar eleaving her int he crate all day.. well she has to poop/pee and i'm not a big fan of crating all day... i like the x=pen idea... a space to lay and play and eat and pee pads for when she has to go.... so if this is nighttime make the space smaller with towles or blankets or stuff an old pillow back there.
