Sophie has figured out that barking gets her out of her crate, so we can't use that as a sign she needs out anymore.
She just barked a few times, looked at me, peed in her bed, then buried it in a blanket. I'm very frustrated with her now. I've set the divider in her crate to be quite small - it is about 18 by 24 inches now. I know that's very small, but I've had enough of these accidents. I know she could've held it, as she had been out recently and had not drank much water.
Is she broken of her instinct to stay clean? I need some help here. |
