1. When I leave for work in the morning I put him in the guest bathroom which is a pretty good size. I put his kennel in there along with water and two pads by the door. The reason I do this is each time I leave, Chip flips out barking and whining and the excitement causes him to urinate. So while we trick him into using the pad inadvertently he steps in it repeatedly while whining.
Would a puppy litter box be better?
I wouldn't think that it would be any difference.
2. For those who have trained their adult males to eliminate indoors only, do they naturally continue to squat?
Brooklyn squats. He does occasionally left his leg when he is outside though.
3. Do kongs help keep them busy while trying to exit and is 12 weeks too young to put peanut butter in the kong?
I'm not a big fan of Kongs but what I do is break up a treat or two and throw it around the room and they go nuts! They find every single piece too.
Thanks to everyone in advance!
Jamie | Good luck!
