To crate train they only need enough room to lay down comfortably. They won't use the bathroom where they have to lay. With Reuger I ended up filling the back of his crate with boxes to make sure that he had the right amount of room. And, voila, he quit peeing and pooping in the crate! For Christmas we bought him a much larger cage and we had to use the divider to make it much smaller, again he only had room to lay down. As he got better we started making the cage larger and now, at almost a year, he has his whole cage and never has an accident in it.
Also, don't put a blanket or towel in with him. |
