Yoda will be 5 months old Friday. I leave food and water in his crate all the time during the day. He weighs about 3.1 lbs. He is alone for about 6 hours during the day Monday-Thursday with kids at school and hubby and I at work. I do not take the food out during weekends either. We take the food bowl out at night. Eventually, I would like to take the food out and maybe use a water bottle for his crate.
Yoda does great. He sometimes has pee accidents in his crate but only during the day. The only accidents in the house are when he has played hard and we don't get him outside fast enough.
We don't use the training pads in the crate or out of the crate. He lets us know he has to go when he is in his crate but not if he is out.
Should we use the training pads inside and when should I remove the food during the day and start feeding him twice a day instead of having food available all day?
