All of these are wonderful ideas. my fiance says that he thinks its cruel to crate him so he wont let me. I left him in a crate just one day and he had pooped and peed all in it and had got in all over him plus he had cried til he had no voice. So my fiance has said that WE ARE NOT crating him. lol As for pee pee pads I'd love that but again my fiance said that we arent teaching to potty in the house period even if it is on a pad. So he said he learns to go outside or he stays outside. so I've kept him in the room with me at all times and I take him out on his leash every hour. He hasn't had any accients in 4 days now but I am so worried about when I wont be here. My fiance says I can't leave him in the room because he cries and bothers his brother.
