First Day Home So my baby boy is coming home next weekend so I'm just trying to get everything together I want to crate train him just not sure what I should put inside the crate & how big should it be .i do work nights so he will be in the crate for a few hours well I go to work but my boyfriend will be home in the beginning because he still is a baby so he would have to take him out on bathroom breaks or check on him throughout the night |
Hi and WELCOME to YT! Congrats on your new baby! As for crate size, it depends on whether or not you want to fit a pee pad in there. If you do, then you'll need a large one / or a larger Xpen. If not, then one that fits a place to lay/stretch and maybe a couple toys. |
Oh congrats!!! I just got my baby in December...she loved the crate at first because she didn't know me so she made no fuss in there!!.the crate should be big enough to have her bed pee pad and toys...good luck!! Your gonna love your yorkie!!! |
Hello and welcome to YT. Congrats on yotu new pup. I would start out with a x pen and a potty pad until he gets a little older. Enough for him to hold for a few hours. Then I would start crate training. There is an excellent resource book called "How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days". Is very helpful. Yorkies are not as easy to housebreak. Here is the schedule that they are using. It seemed to work for Galen. Good luck http://www.leecharleskelley.com/imag...sebreaking.pdf |
Thanks guys for all your suggestions . I'm thinking about doing both the crate & xpen ill just put the crate inside of the xpen because I work nights n i think it'll be much easier for me & the pup to know that is crate is where he can sleep ...wee wee pad in the xpen with his toys .putting him in the crate n just leaving for work I don't think would be a great idea I know he's not going to hold it for so many hours so this way he can see that he can come n go go to bed n use the bathroom in the xpen.. He's still young so he will be house trained until all his shots are done where he can go outside |
