bad manners and training questions I get why Brody has accidents in his kennel during my long hours at work. What I don't get is why he insists upon pooing in his kennel right before bedtime. He knows when we put him in his kennel, it's bedtime. So, he poos and we let him back out to clean it up. Then he gets back in it until we get up at 5:30 the next morning. For his long days, should I put him in the bathroom and put his kennel and potty pad in there with him? He goes all night and is fine. On a good note, he has started going to the door when he needs to potty. |

The kennel is probably too big for night time- at night- he needs to have it VERY small- only enough room to lay down- then he won't poop in there because he will have no choice but to lay in it. So at night i'd stuff the back with pillows or towels. Also does he have a command word for going potty? i tell Layla to hurry up- which means- do what you gotta do :) if you had one then before he went to bed at night he'd know he is going outside to potty- and the first time he poops outside before bed- HUGE party and treats galore :D he'll get the idea pretty fast :) If you are gone long hours i would section off part of the house (i'm not a fan of the bathroom because it is so small- no windows usually- can't hear the tv- maybe can you get a small dog play pen? and put his kennel in there- pee pads, food/water and keep the tv or radio on for him :) |
kennel I knew I was forgetting something!!! I forgot to section off the kennel! I have a partition that goes in there. I'm trying to talk my hubby into getting the doggy playpen for the daytime. I hate to leave him in his kennel all day long. I'm thinking maybe for the time being just putting the radio on in the bathroom. He likes to watch the tv, but he can't see it from his kennel during the day. Yes, He actually watches the television! It's hilarious! |

If you look on ebay- you should be able to get a play pen second hand- they are expensive new- if you were closer i'd sell you mine! but they are GREAT to have. |
ebay Good thinking on ebay! I'll check there. It's funny, I remember ebay for purses and school things that I need, but forget about it when I REALLY need something! I'm a teacher- I buy everything for my classroom and yes, ebay is one of my best friends for this! Thanks! You would think this was my first furbaby! It has been 8 years, and I have forgotten pretty much EVERYTHING! |
