My yorkie is 4 months old and he is trained to go on a pee pad in the garage. I keep him in a exercise pen at night and when we leave. I had to make it a triangle for it to be really small and had to put a top on it because he would climb out of it. At night he does good in it but when i have to leave him in the day time he always poops in it and gets it all over him and his bed. Its so bad that I have to give him a bath. I am gone sometimes 6 hours at a time. What do you think about leaving him in the bathroom with a pee pad?

Sorry but I didn't make my self clear. He stays in the house but when we leave and at night he is in the xpen in my bathroom. He has been doing good about going out to do his job in the garage while he is free in the house with us.

Oh good! Yes I do think it is best to confine him into a small area untill he gets it down.

I think you are saying that when you leave you have him in his pen in the bathroom, but are asking if maybe just the pad in the bathroom would be better since the pen is more confining and doesn't give much room after he poops. I guess the big question would be about safty. Can he climb into the tub or hurt himself on pipes? You might try a trial run while you are home, that way if he gets into trouble you can rescue and you'll know about any problem areas.
