This is very true. In fact, when I got Raley, someone gave me a kennel. I could not figure out why he was still going potty in the back of it. Then I read a training book that said a kennel should only be large enough for them to lie in, stand up and turn around. I went straight to the store and bought the appropriate size and he never went potty in his kennel again. On the other hand, my daughter's yorkie puppy will still go potty in her kennel if she eats after 7PM and doesn't potty before kenneling up at bedtime.
