my 8 week old pup

Thu, Nov 19th 2009, 06:09 GMT

We have had this pup for 4 days now. The 1st day she slep and didn't pee in her crate. the 2nd day she didn't pee either, just outside. Now on the 3rd and 4th day she has peed in her crate 2 times a day once at night. We are not home from 8am-4:00pm. My wife comes home every 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours to let our honey out. Is she just too young to get the whole crate training thing? We don't feed her much water between the hours we are gone either... Please help what to do next? We do not have a kid so i don't really know what to expect. We are home all weekend and all night she stays home for about 7 hours at the most on tuesday and Thursday. the other days just for about 4 hours. She has our cats to look at and we keep the TV on. We both work I am here to get help. I bought a pup because I do not know what to expect. Knowledge is power. Wow, some people on here are �crazy dog people� I have a dog to love play run and socialize. Sad that people work in this wonderful world. You make it seem like the pup is home all alone in a dark, cold smelly crate. No, not at all. She has a bed and toys and we come home every second we can. Out of the 5 days in the WORK week she stays in her crate for about two of the for about7 hours. She is let out to play and go out side every 1 � hour. So if you cannot help just do not post anything. Catster is much more helpful.

My puppy is a maltzu and she stays in her cage when im there she sleeps and everything with her cage shuts. But when I leave my house she screams and shouts and at the same time pees and poops. What can I do to stop her, what can I do to make her feel comfterble in her crate without being scared of it.

I have an idea what I'm going to do about potty training and did some research but I want to take some opinion from people who had puppies and/or done it before. Thanks.

How can I retrain my 2.5 yr Min Schnauzer to poop outside w/out a walk? He's bright and still trainable (I believe). Tx!

Thu, Sep 10th 2009, 00:55 GMT

He's trained to go outside. I have no problems w/him going inside, but he has to go on a lengthy walk before pooping. I don't have this problem w/peeing. I didn't mind this when I lived in Atlanta, but I'm up North now and am not looking forward to a snowy, cold winter and these walks. He was crate trained within a month using training treats.

Crate Training Gone Bad!

Wed, Aug 19th 2009, 09:04 GMT

I started crate-training Olive and she has been fantastic! She is a very smart girl with tons of energy. I normally use her crate when she sleeps at night, when I drive her somewhere or when she is unsupervised (for no later than 2 hours). Sense she is still potty-training, I caught her eliminating in my room last night and stopped her halfway through. I took her to the correct spot and I thought she was finished. I praised her and I put her in her crate to take her to a local Pet store to buy toys 20 minutes later. While driving, I smelled poop and checked her crate and she eliminated in her crate! I felt like I was fooled and was also dissapointed in myself. I heard that once a dog eliminates in its crate, they will begin to understand that eliminating in their crate is okay, when it is not. Is this a true statement? How can I keep a better eye on her so I know that when she's done eliminating that she is done completely? HELP! Love, Olive's mother

we brought an abused dog. we've had him just over 5 months. he won't sleep in the crate without whinning!!

Sun, Aug 16th 2009, 08:44 GMT

we wait until 10.30pm to put him in as he wakes up at 5am and won't go back to sleep. we're lucky if we get 3 hours sleep at night as he cries at the top of his lungs. it is very hard to ignore as he is extremely LOUD!!! he is on anti depressants to help calm him down but nothing is working. we sleep with ear plugs in another room and he is soooooooooooo LOUD. the vet suggested he sleep in his own room, because he won't settle in the room with us. please help!
