dO YOU use in cage water bowl or out of cage one? I just always thought they should have it in their cage so that they have water at all times. Is that a bad idea? |
I don't think it is a bad idea. It sounds like it could intefere with potty training though. |
i keep a water bowl in Kash's x-pen. but he has a pee pad in there, so he uses that. i guess it just depends on what method of potty training you're using. |
If you use a pen & pee pads then I suppose it is fine to have a water bowl in the pen....especially if your pup is in there for long lengths of time. I only use a crate because I have my pup with me most of the time and I do not put water in the crate, one because he is only in there for a short length of time and two because I don't want to add any fluid to his bladder to make the time in the crate more uncomfortable for him. I know that I was told not to put any water or food in the crate when you train them to sleep in the crate at night for the same reasons. :animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa |
I use a pen that has her food and pee pad ....I have a pen that attaches to each side of a crate...her bed is in her crate...this works GREAT!! |
I have always put one in both. I quit doing it in his travelling crate, after he had to sit on a wet cushion all night when it had spilled over. I felt so bad. |
I didn't have water in the crate since Cali was only in it for short periods of time and at night but I got up during the night with her. |
so while we are at work, but still potty training him should we leave water in? |
I use a water bottle that attaches to the front door of his crate.... he picked up the bottle really quick so now that is all I use.... I have a big one in the kitchen. |

If it is for any long length of time, yes he should definitely be left with water. I'm guessing you are leaving him in a pen vs a crate while you are at work??? |
I keep water available at all times. I use a pet drinking bottle that attaches to the side of the cage/ex-pen. |
a cage...it's 2 feet high, 3 feet long and 2 feet wide |

Slade's always had fresh water available in his crate, since he's in there when i'm at work or class. We also have a few water dishes around the house. |
Maggy May has a bowl in her kennel and out of her kennel, this way she has water at all times. She's 6 months old and has no potty issues at all, she goes on the puppy pad outside her kennel. |
