I wonder if it would work on a 5-year-old rescue that likes to go hide and do her business.

If you follow the schedule in the book strictly, it is supposed to work on any age dog. But, I am having a problem keeping them crated 7 hours a day since I am home with them.

That would be our situation too only it is dh that is home all day instead of me. And Gracie (our rescue) is a real daddy's girl. I don't think either one of them could stand to be separated for that long! She actually quivers and watches the door the whole time he is outside smoking or in the garage. Dh would probably not be able to keep her confined if she even whimpered a little bit. LOL.

You know, I trained our gsd pretty quickly by keeping him leashed and connected to my belt loop. I think the idea behind all training is to really watch them closely and keep a routine going.

It just takes consistancy. I just retrained a 5 yr old using crate training. I did have to confine her for 2 weeks but she got it

I had to start all over on the 7 days to housebreak your puppy. My grandchildred were here for several days last week, and, well, they had to play with the puppies.

So yesterday was my first full day w/the training, and all went pretty well. They didn't like the crate, and told me about it in so many ways. hehehe I am using a pack-n-play as a crate with both beds inside. It didn't take Tyler long to figure out how to climb out. I had to put a baby gate across the top.

Here's praying all goes well today.

OK! We're starting over. I still want a day to day play on this method.

Today wasn't any better. Gabby cried for 3 hours straight and I did go ahead and let them out of their crate a little early. But, it just dawned on me, we didn't have any boo-boos inside! I guess today was a good day.....

i'm considering getting this book. she doesn't have accidents or anything, and i take her out on a regular schedule, but when i leave the house and put her in her pen, she uses her pee pad and then acts like a cat and folds it over or puts things on top of it to cover the smell!! i would prefer if she just waited for me to return and i would take her out. i'm never gone more than about 4 hours or so.

is it for crate training specifically?

also, how is everything going?
