so before i leave this morning, i take typsy out to use the bathroom, where she promptly goes #1 and #2. then i put her in her pen and say goodbye. 4 hours later, i am at the front door and i hear whining from what seems like right inside the door!! i'm like wow, that ex-pen must be right at the door, i didn't realize it was that close!!
so i open the door, and there she is, wagging her little nub and so excited to see me!!!
i'm like what the...?!?
she must have jumped over the top of her pen!! i had absolutely no idea she could jump that high!!! she struggles just to get up on the 17" couch and the pen is 24"!!! i remember that i put her in there for sure and the door was still locked when i checked it. so i went looking for damage. although she has a pee pad in the bathroom, she used my shower mat as her pee pad
it doesn't look like she caused any other damage, but i have got to get this potty training thing under control. i've started to take her out first thing in the morning, so we seem to have that routine down. if i do that, she doesn't go on the pad in her crate, which i don't think she likes using b/c she tries to cover it up.
i think i'm going to have to try to crate train her. i was only gone 4 hours and she went twice!! i want her to be able to hold it for at least a little while and i don't know of another way to get her to do that. any suggestions would also be appreciated.
btw, the smallest kennel i could find for her has waaaay too much room in it, it would allow her to relieve herself in the back and then curl up in the front ... how can i prevent her from doing that?
