I have his crate in the kitchen and his potty pads in the laundry room. When I get him out I have to close the crate or all he wants to do is go in there. So I sit on the kitchen floor, let him come to me. Try to get him interested in some toys. Hopefully a few more days he'll feel more at home. I have been putting a little chicken in his food because he wasn't eating enough and I worried about that.
Question about crate training for pottying. I let him out in the morning, and put him on the potty pads. He has not learned to go on command yet when I put him on there. So then I go and give him fresh water and food and stay in the kitchen to keep an eye on him. He's been hit and miss with the pads. Should I put him back in his kennel if he doesn't go (if it's been a while since he went last)? Or is it okay to leave him out and just watch him. Then put him back in when I have to leave or get too busy to watch him closely?
Thanks for all of the help and support. |
