 Pooping when we Leave
We brought Dharma home last Saturday (6/19). She is doing BEAUTIFULLY with housetraining. She has very few accidents in the house and she is already giving us signals she needs to go out. It has been less then 2 weeks.
Our concern is when we leave...We take her out and make sure she has went to the bathroom. We have a small clock radio that we leave on next to her crate. We leave without making a big deal, and when we come home, we find that she pooped in her crate. She sleeps in her crate beautifully throughout the day and through the night and goes in her crate willingly so it makes me feel that she is pooping in her crate when we are gone due to nerves.
So my question is what can we do? We haven't left her longer then a total of an hour and a half. One time we left her for 15 min and came home and she pooped in her crate. She doesn't ever do it when we are home. If she does have an accident, it is on the carpet, not in her crate.
Are we leaving her too soon? She is 14 weeks old today. Any advice you have would be helpful :-) |
