My advice would be to leave a pad down if you are giving him run of the utility room. They usually won't potty where they sleep (crate) but he has room to go in places in the utility room without having to lay in it.
He might just be too young to hold it.
We always leave water down for our babies, I know some people don't when they are gone. As for food. We don't free-feed them all day. They eat at specific times and we don't leave it down all day.
Consistency is key, it's best to stick with one routine for him to get used to!
Good luck! |
