This is my first post although I have read a lot of advice from this site. We have two pups, a 4 month yorkie named Lucy and a 3 month yorkie/chihuahua mix named Loka. We had Lucy for about 5 weeks when we introduced Loka. Lucy was doing good with pee pad training and occasionally would poop off the pad but was consistent with pee. Once we introduced Loka, the trouble started! She was using pee pads when we got her, but she was also destroying them. We finally figured out a way to stop her from doing that, using a lift n sift cat litter box or our other set up is a plastic bin with the pee pad and a lighting grate on top. They both use the boxes without hesitation, they know what they are for. The younger one also likes to lay in the box and the accidents are increasing it seems. They were confined to the entire kitchen until today because I am sick of cleaning pee and poop from under the table. Now they have an 8x12 foot penned area. They have been in a shared crate with their bed and a pee pad when we leave. I am a stay at home mom so am around most of the day. With Christmas we were gone longer but assumed since they had their pee box in one side of the crate they would go to it. No, there was pee all over their blankets. I thought it was just the young one until today when I saw Lucy go I to her crate and pee on her bed instead of stepping in her box. Help!!!
