| Feeding outside Hi Guys, Working on create training/potty breaking the two puppies. This means that they are in one of four places, in their crates, supervised in a playpen, supervised outside or on someone's lap. I've been feeding them (3x a day) in their playpen and I take them outside both before and after they are eating. Somehow they still manage to pee once in a while when eating, though I'll normally catch and stop them mid stream. So I'm wondering if I should just feed them outside or is that just asking for trouble at some later point? Any suggestions? |

| I have never had Buster pee while eating. I do think feeding outside might be complicated and if you leave food it might attack other animals. Have you considered feeding them in an xpen and putting pee pads under them while eating?

| Welcome to YT ! I really would like to help, but am not sure I understand what is going on. Are these tiny pups still with their Mom ? Puppies do not normally urinate while eating. Very young puppies will urinate right after eating or drinking. I do not feed puppies together out of the same bowl after they are 5 or 6 weeks old. I feed them in their own crate. This has several advantages. I know who eats what. They associate the crate as being their own safe place where good things happen. It also helps with house training. I like the puppies to have a head start on these things before they go to their forever home and new family.

| One is 3 and the other is 6 months old. I didn't mean they pee while eating, so much as they eat and then very quickly after they'll pee. They tend to grab a piece of food and walk away from their bowl eating so its pretty hard to tell exactly when they are done. |

| LOL I meant the food might attract other animals.
