My little one is only 3 1/2 months old. The breeder recommended crate training as the best method for potty training her. So at night I keep her in her crate. The first time she had an accident in her crate she was so upset and was standing up in her crate trying not to touch the pee. I am thinking that first time was the normal reaction. Now she lets out one yelp and then that is it. I try to get her out of her crate and she is so tired she doesn't want to. She tries to crawl back in right away. I was told dogs don't like to sleep where they pee. Mine seems to be ok with it. I have a pillow that she sleeps on in her crate and a blankie that the breeder gave me that has her puppy-home scent on it. Is it possible that the pee is being absorbed into these and she doesn't feel the wetness as much. I would feel so bad taking them away because they make her so comfortable and cozy- she really loves her crate. Anyone else experience something similar?
