I completely understand what you're going through with the peeing in the crate. I only adopted Hailey in October and she's 6 years old but she has separation anxiety. The first time it became an issue was when my boyfriend was over and I closed her out of my bedroom while we were in there. She peed right in the middle of the living room carpet. She'd never gone inside for the two months I already had her. I knew I needed to crate train her if I was to ever have alone time with my boyfriend again. For the first few weeks, Hailey peed and pooped in her crate and it was definitely to tell me she hated the crate. Now that she's used to the crate and has somewhat accepted that she can't be on my lap at all times, she no longer pees or poops in her crate. She seemed to accept the crate better once I became more predictable and routine about when she was to go in it. Maybe you could try being routine about when your pup gets crated. I hate crating her but her separation anxiety seems a little better now. |
