He won't stop peeing in his crate... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ladygodiva7 · 08-27-2006, 07:29 PM

I'm about to lose my mind! Every time I put Bleu in his crate he uses the restroom. I thought that the point of crate training was to teach him to hold it when he has to go. Was I wrong? He was out all day today and I put him in the crate to grab a bite to eat. I was gone for about an hour and a half and I came back and he and his crate were soaked in urine

. He did the same thing last night and the night before that. I know I'm not supposed to bathe him more than once a week but I just had to do it again because he reeked

. I don't know what to do because I can't keep throwing out his blankets and I can't let them accumulate until there is a full load of clothes because they stink. What can I do

?

How big is his crate?

It's just a small travel crate.

They have some great crate training tips here...(Not implying you need any

, you might find a hint or 2 as to why he does what he does...)

Oh, I thought maybe the crate was too big. I know Sadie used to pee in hers until I blocked it off so she only had a smaller area.
