Mine did the same thing. I tried the smaller crate, she peed the bed and then used a larger crate where she sometimes peed the bed, sometimes the pad. I was like you wondering why they would pee their bed? I think some just do. As she matured we made it very clear during the day that she pee on her pad (we had a puppy apt)I made a big deal out of it with treats and high pitched "good pee pee". I put her in the pee side every two hours saying go pee pee get a treat! I also made sure she new when she went in the wrong place. I changed my tone, said a strong "no no bad pee pee", even if I didn't catch her. I picked her up and pointed at it. I also let her watch me clean it up.
She now runs to her crate to pee or poop in her potty side. She sleeps in a large crate in my daughters room with a bed and pee pad. Sometimes she holds it until we bring her downstairs and sometimes she doesn't but she always goes on the pad. Now if I could just stop her from running through her poo in her crate if Im not home that would be great... |
