Thanks for the reply... I think you may have misunderstood...sorry for being confusing...He is currently in a crate that small...He actually has an x-small wire crate, and also one of the x-small plastic petmate vari kennels as well. I actually only tried him in a Large dog crate with a pet a potty hoping that he would go on the pet a potty instead of peeing/pooping all over himself... I couldn't get him to stay on it to potty though....maybe if I tried something with sides? I was hoping that if he had a place to go in his crate, that would solve my problem...but he ended up sleeping on the pet a potty and going in the crate...After I saw that didn't work, I switched him back to his x-small crate,which he's had since I've had him. He has just enough room to stand up, turn around and lay down, but nothing else so, I can't go any smaller...it's already the smallest size I can get! lol he will actually go potty and then just sit in it. But if he's at home, he'll go to the door to go outside. It's so frustrating! I guess I'm just thankful it's not reversed. I got him from a breeder in Indiana, so he wasn't a pet store dog...to my knowledge he was left in his crate as the breeder seemed pretty reputable. Should I try a dog litter box with pee pads in a large crate and also put a bed in there, too and see if that makes a difference? I am hoping that maybe if I can contain him in a large crate, but give him somewhere to go, i'll just be changing a pad out every day instead of washing a dog and cleaning a crate...Do you think I could easily train him to that? Thanks for the help! |
