Please don't think I am being judgemental. Puppies are a lot of work. They pee on things, chew on things, and just generally get into trouble like all babies. I have found that with my two baby yorkies (which are a new breed for me) is that there is no way to keep them off the furniture.. my husband thinks they are related to the mountain goat, LOL. That being said if you are determined to keep him there are ways "around" these little guys. One thing I suggest is that you put the small crate into a larger exercise pen with a potty pad, food, water and toys for when you are not home and cannot supervise. I do not leave any sqeaker toys, rope toys, rawhide, or collars on them when they are in the pen. That has been my life saver. At least they are safe from harm there and cannot destroy anything. I also leave on the radio for them which they seem to like. When I am home I try to tire them out as much as possible. Also, I put a waterproof mattress pad on my bed once I realized they will pee on the bed. I guess a king size bed is like a room to them. So they think they can sleep at one end and pee on the other. I think once you can get past the puppyhood you will be glad you kept your baby because they are such good company and so affectionate. |
