I tried putting Sydney in the crate. Most times she never pee-pee or pooped in the crate. But then she ended up getting a Urinary Tract Infection. Don't do what I did. They cannot hold it that long. It cost me $90 in vet bills for a mistake that I made. I started putting Sydney in the bathroom with papers on the floor, her crate and toys. Each day gets better. At first I would come home with newspaper torn in shreds, but each day is getting much better.
I just decided to keep her healthy, clean up the mess each day. She didn't need to be in the crate for long periods of time and does fine through the night now (6 hours) but that's about all that they can hold it for.
Good Luck |
