(sometimes she soils the smaller crate, just did while I was typing this) At night we put her in the bigger side with her bed and ample potty pad space so if she has to go she can. She pees on the pee pad but it seems as though her new thing is going poo in her bed and hiding it under her blankets. It seems she poos every day around 530am ish. So what if I beat her to the punch and get up and put her in the potty side, say go poo and then give her a treat and back to bed? Eventually I can open the doors so she can go on her own but she just jumps around to much and she has a plate in her leg. This just started and i figure she is acting out. Ideas??? |
If you know her schedule and can get her to relieve herself before she does it herself, then I don't see why not. I would say to take the blankets out, but she probably needs the comfort from her surgery. Can you place something else in there? When you clean her bed do you use an enzyme remover, because maybe she feels that is the place to go if she can't get to the other side. I thought the puppy apartments allow them to cross over? or is she abusing the privilege?
