Crate training was a big flop for me. I read up on it and thought I would master it. I did put her in a room with linoleum when I went out. She would be in there for hours and not go, so now Penny has full run on the house, she hangs close to me most of the time. Now the problem is when she does go inside, I never catch her. Its mostly if she gets up in the night, but not all the time. She sleeps with me, but I do not always here her. The problem is I dont always find it unless I step in a wet spot. She also poops too, out of site. Its hard to correct her if you can't catch her in the act. She is doing pretty well otherwise. I keep putting off getting the rug cleaned hoping she will stop before I do. (She will be 2 in Jan.) Do you think if I get the rug cleaned and get the odor out she will stop?
