Mine do,but it took a lot of training them to do it.For instance when they were caught having an accident which I caught them every time because I kept them in only one room where I was when I was first training them.I would hurry up and grab them while they were doing there business and then put them in the liter box.Once there smell was there they just started to do it on there own.Now Onyx my Male even though he uses the box he sometimes hiks his leg.What I do is put a garbage bag across the back where the box is so it hits the bag and doesn't go out onto the floor.I don't have that on there because I just took it off to replace with a new one when I decided to tell you what I do for my babies.I clean the cage out at least twice a day and once a wk. I really clean and disinfect it.I have small kids in my home and I am a VERY big CLEAN freak.My dogs had never been outside a day in there life when they were rescued and even though we do our daily walks they will not go outside for anything .They will hold it when we go out for walks or to the park.When we get home they get in the box and do there business.Oh and I don't use dog liter which you can buy.I find it too messy.I get the cat liter odor elimater with clumping action.Again I don't know how everyone feels about this but I talked to the Vet and he said it won't hurt them.By the way my babies are over 2 yrs. old and I have only had them 8 months and it didn't take long to train them on this.Boy would I go nuts on doing happy dances and smothering them with kisses when they used the box.I am silly like that thoughGood luck! Try it out.
