Gosh...from what I am reading this seems to be a struggling topic for a lot of us. Mine is 19 weeks and I only crate her at night. Since I starting using our old baby monitor and I can hear her wake up and whine, we have had NO accidents. This leaves the rest of the day. I have pee pads in 2 areas and it seems that miss bailee will go everywhere else and sometimes on the pee pads. I am in the process of bell training her to go into the garage. We have set up a plastic fenced area for her to go to. We have also started taking her outside on the leash and she will always do her business out there. It is frustrating to constantly clean up the pee/poop. It is my fault because I give her way too much freedom. I have had dogs before and didnt want to get a dog that was kept in a crate all day.
Feeling Frustrated...
