Dog uses crate as a bathroom!
Hi:
I have a 14 month old Bouvier that can't be crated because he will mess in the crate and then lie in it. My husband and I have tried everything.We tried confining him to the kitchen while we work and he just uses the room as a kennel. We now tether him in the hall but come home daily to a puddle or pile. My teenage daughters take him out a 3pm, after school, and we leave at 8:00am to go to work.Whether we are bathing the dog, the floor, or the crate it is like cleaning a barn. His crate is just large enough for him to turn around in and stand up. We do not give him excessive amounts of water and a vet has checked him out thoroughly. Can anyone offer advice..Confused

I have found the best method to potty training is when you give them water or food .. wait like 15 minutes and then take them out to potty outside. I hope this is helpful! Big Grin
