Sometimes they go outside and sometimes they come in the house and go after they have been outside  It drives me CRAZY! I have a bell on the door but they haven't 'got' it yet. I take them out every hour when I am home. Like I said sometimes they go but most times they play....Jax actually pees everytime but I think he is just squeezing it out to mark. Molly can hold it for FOREVER! I am at my wit's end with these two however it is my own fault. I have let them have free roam of my house since day one. I know, I know...dumb! Anyway after steamcleaning my carpets for the second time in 2 months I have decided to crate them. They do really well during the day when I am at work. I crate them at 8am and let them out at noon then again when my husband gets home at 3 and from then on its pee where you want to time I guess! Anyway, I leave them in an expen. Big enough for two....but small enought that they don't ever go in there so is it okay to crate them together like this. I feel so mean putting them in there when I am home. They bark constantly if they know we are home. I know this is what I have to do though to keep my rugs safe  So I guess my question is...is it okay to use an expen and crate them together as long as they don't go potty in the expen? |
i bred my female and still have her 2 male pups they are 14wks and yes i crate them when i'm busy and at night..they don't poop in their crates anymore but yes pee..i don't let them on the rug if i do it's just for 15min -20min then back outside..as soon as i get up in the morning their outside then in there crate to eat then back outside..if i had the 1 he would be trained by now like his mom was but with 2 like you said it's hard..i don't like the pee pads cause to me i feel they think it's ok to go inside..now some ppl have started using a grass matt they buy from wal-mart and that seems to help but i just do it the old fashion way and keep bringing them outside..if they do it in the house i show them give a little tap my husband says is a love tap then outside i go again..when they play after 15-20 min.of play take them back outside..after they nap..be consistent and gl
