@gracielove, I so agree with you......
I really appreciate your helpful words. I do have a pretty large crate that he was in when we first got him. He had his little bed at one end and plenty or room at the other with pee pad. He still peed on his bed :-( and just tore up the pee pad :-)
I feel like we have tried everything, maybe because he was locked up and learned to use his crate that it may take a very long.....time to change his thinking on it. I just wish he understood he didnt have to lay in it
But I think I will try the large crate again this weekend. Thanks again!
