Being they havn't caught on in two years, you might consider hiring a trainer and an animal behavioral specialist to come out to your home and work with you on the potty training. There may be some other issues that are causing the potty training problems. Also, have you had your babies checked by a vet recently just to make sure there is nothing physically wrong with them? Where did your babies come from? If they came from a pet store or a puppy mill, they might have gotten used to going in the crate and as such, crate training probably won't work. Like the others said, I would sit tight until you have recovered from your surgery than get busy on this issue.
