He may continue what he's been doing for awhile, but he'll figure out it's way more uncomfortable to lie in pee directly than to lie on bedding with a little spot of soaked-in pee on it. The flat surface of the crate bottom should make it hard for him to avoid his own mistake.
I'm not sure why he's doing it, exactly...he may realize that peeing in the crate means he will get uber-attention from you (Bath! Massage! Turn-down service!) so he's learned to manipulate the situation. |
lol yeah I think he may be realizing I won't ignore him if he pees so he figures why not go pee? It seems like good logic for a spoiled and smart puppy.. I never knew these little guys would be so intelligent!
I think you have a good idea with leaving the bedding out.. I think that will be what I try first.
AGAIN BIG THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY!
