He has never gone potty his in crate.... yet. I am just getting frusterated and I know it takes awhile and we have only had him three weeks. I am just tired of cleaning up pee spots. I kinda wish the breeder would have at least tried to potty train him since he was the last to go and 5 months old when I got him. |
I am sure the last thing he wants to do is wet the bed.
It sounds like he is having problems holding his bladder for as long as you expect him to. My boy usually wakes up at 6am to pee and we go to bed around 12:30am. I would definitely change your sleeping arrangements so that he is not sleeping on the bed and litterally trapped while he does the pee-pee dance...from his perspective that has the probably be the worst feeling. Why not try penning him off in a seabreeze pen (xpen) in your bedroom with his bed and a weewee pad that way when he wakes up and has to go he can.
Until my boy was 100% reliable in the house at night and when we were at work he was kept penned off in the kitchen where his crate, food/water and wee wee pads were. Now that he has earned free run of the house he sleeps on his bed next to ours. Still every morning around 6am he wakes up and runs into the kitchen to potty then comes back to bed. It took him 20 months until he earned free run of the house.
It is also a huge potty training aid if you designate a specific location for his wee wee pad and keep it there--it takes the guess work out of it for them.
Try altering your sleeping arrangements; in addition to potty training help it is also a lot safer for him. Best of luck!
