Hi, i am a proud mom of two yorkies. My older one is fully potty trained and doing great, but we got a new puppy last Saturday and i'm having a REALLY HARD TIME. He is 5 months old and he was crated or caged his whole life. He is used to go inside the crate and doesn't mind seating in his poop or pee! My pla was to crate train him like I did with my older one but it is definitely not working out!
When he is out and about he doesn't pee or poop inside the house but as soon as I crate because I'm leaving the house or at night before going to bed, first thing I find when I come back or early the next morning is poop all over!
I've beentaking him outside ALL THE TIME but in almost a week since I got him he hasn't peed or pooped once, every single time he did it was inside the crate.
I know it is not his fault because probably is all he knows, but I' m really frustrated and scared that this will never change and on top of that I'm going back to work after memorial day!
PLEASE, if anybody has gone through anything similar to this or have any kind of advice I would appreciate it sooo much.
Thanks!
