| They think its ok to go potty in their kennels:( How do you get your dogs potty trained when they constantly go potty in their kennels? Tucker will be a year old next month and I think everyday he goes potty in his kennel when we are at work. We come home at noon and let him out but it doesn't seem to help. Now I have Gracie Faith and she is 3 months old and I have noticed that she goes in her kennel too. What do I need to do to keep them from doing this. I seem to have to wash their bedding every day. I realize my baby is young but I'm just hoping that it doesn't continue with her too. |

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | how big is the kennel/crate? if you are crate training the crate/kennel only needs to be big enough for them to stand sit laydown and turn around....if it is any bigger than that then they will go at one end and lay down on the other...have you tried an expen?

| There are 2 things I can think of. Either you are gone longer than Tucker can hold it, or the kennel is too big. I've heard of scrunching up towels and putting them in the back to give just enough room for the pup to stand up and turn around. If you're gone for a full work day, I would definitely try to keep Tucker in a bigger space than just a kennel...We don't have a yard (YET...we just bought a house that we're waiting to move to as soon as we close), so our boys go into the bathroom while my husband and I are at work...

| I'm sorry, I wish I had the answer but.........my Abby does the same thing If I need to leave the house, I put in her crate. I always take her out to potty before I leave. I maybe gone for only an hour and I come home and she has peed in her crate. The crate is big enough for her to stand up, turn around and lay down. Tonight I just took her outside to potty before she goes to bed, she peed then came up on the porch to come in the house, came in and shortly after coming in, she pooped I am almost at my wits end with this. I have NEVER had this much trouble potty training any of the other yorkies I've had.
