 Help!
Hello Everyone,
We just rescued a 6 yo yorkie from a puppymill about 3 weeks ago. Shes potty trained to go on pee pads and shes doing really well. But when we leave the house and crate her, she will pee and poo in her crate every time. So I tried not crating her and she keeps peeing in her bed. Maybe its because shes lived in a crate her whole life so shes used to peeing and poo in the crate??? But when I started pee pad training her, it only took her one day and she was using the pee pad. But when shes inside the crate she will still pee and poo in there too. Maybe its a form of separation anxiety??? I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this??? I thought dogs naturally dont pee and poo in a crate or their bed???? Ive been taking her with me everywhere I go but I will be starting a new job and I cannot take her with me. Oh and the weird thing is if shes in her crate in the car and I leave her in the car to go the market, she doesnt pee. Only if shes in the crate at home. Ive tried putting a diaper on her and it was even a bigger mess when I got home.
Any suggestions would help..... thanks!
Love,
