Hi,
We brought our new spoo puppy home this afternoon. She is 7.5 wks old. When we got home I took her out to potty and then we played with her inside. I told everyone it was time to put her in the crate. She immediately went in and peed a little. Took her out changed the sheet, used a clorox wipe on the mattress (portable crib mattress) and then I flipped it and put another sheet back on it. Let's try this again. Put her in and she immediately started to dribble out some more pee. Conclusion to me.....................she thinks that is where she is supposed to potty. I took her outside and after a bit she peed. I praised her. We came back inside and I put her in the crate. OMG!! She is loud!!!! Any suggestions on how to untrain her from peeing in the crate?? Actually, I guess, she needs to learn that that is her new bed. How long do I let her squeal in the crate? Should I stay next to her while she is in there? I need a good crate training thread. I am thinking tonight is going to be a very, very long night. On the positive side, we couldn't be happier. She is great with my 11, 3, and 2 yr old. She is precious!!!
