Maybe Logan feels isolated in the laundry room or he sees it a a punishment. He obviously like his crate. Can you bring his crate to your room or just outside of your room? I don't know if the laundry room is a place that Logan spends anytime other than sleep in but I would think that environment has something to do with behaviour. We have Hot Rod's pen in the family room where we spend all our evenings. We've never really had any issues with him pottying. I had a baby monitor so I could hear him before he started barking. Maybe he just feels insecure and needs to be closer to normal surroundings. Some also suggested that it might be a uti, could he have kidney stones?
Puppies have lots of energy. What may be tiring to you may not necessarily be tiring to them. I know that we play with Hot Rod a lot in the evenings and we try to walk with him several times a day. We probably walk total of about 1- 1 1/2 miles a day. He's only 3 lbs so that is a lot for him, I think but he seems to tired out at the end of the day. We play fetch with him for quite awhile at night so he can run off his energy.
Just some suggestions. I wish you the best with Logan. |
