We live in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment. When Desi first came home, he was 10 weeks old and we would keep him in a child's pack n play and put a few toys in there. Then after a month, he started pitching a fit when we would leave him in there while we were at work. So I bought a baby gate and blocked off the kitchen area for him. But he ended up squeezing out where the dishwasher is. There was a tiny hole that he was able to fit through.

So since then we let him stay out and have roam of the dinning area, kitchen and living room. But he has now started Peeing on our carpets and it is staining them. Since we are at work during the day, it sits on the carpet and soaks in. He knows where his pads are and he uses them while we're home.

My question is, how hard to you think it would be to try and crate train him now? He is 9 months old. Or do you think we should just get a belly band? When he does pee during the day its a very little bit, so he wouldn't soak a pad in the belly band.

Thanks in advance!
