I was scolded by breeder for having pad in crate, because "it hindered house training", well ginger only had one accident and that was my fault, since we got her at 8 weeks. I wouldn't expect a puppy to hold for 8 hours now, but know she will as she gets older. She even tells me when she poops on the Piddle Pad if I'm not in the room so I can take it out. She will find me and do the after poop scratch no matter where I am so I know to get rid of the stinky stuff. |
I am really confused by your post.
So are you still keeping a pad in the crate? Or do you let her run loose while your gone and she uses the pads on the floor?
