Your pups are not getting the proper training, plus they are feeling your apprehension and getting nervous.
The area you have them in sounds too big. Small area is fine as long as they are both together.
Walk them before you leave, and either come home for lunch or have someone come and either play or walk them. (depending on the weather)
Buy some Deter to give them each day to stop the poop eating.
At night, make sure you either walk them or play with them. Put them on the sofa with you when you watch TV and not let them get down. Give them a chewy to occupy themselves. It should be a pleasant experience for all of you.
Put their crate at the masterbath door with the crate door open and wee-wee pad on the bathroom floor. Make sure they can't get between the crate and the door jam. Give them a couple of toys. Pups only take short naps in between playing at night till they are a year or year and a half.
I hope things work out for you and those little babies. |
