your puppy is still very young so holding it will sometimes be dificult for him however it seems that he has developed a habit which is what puppies do try not putting any kind of towel in with him. He is connecting potty with towel in the crate.

Rather than start a new thread i thought it best to post my question in this one.

My pup is 12 weeks old this and he has his "cage" in a small utility room. I now only need to paper half the room in case of night time accidents.

hes a King Charles spaniel and Im wondering after how many months should i expect him to not do his business at night? Since I have taken him home at 9 weeks he has only not done his business in his room once. Fortunately he never goes inside his cage.

My 11 week old pup was doing great in in his crate for awhile, but a couple weeks ago he started regularly peeing in his crate. He usually wont poo in it, but I can EXPECT there to be pee in his crate every morning, when I come home for lunch, and when I get back from work! I take him out regularly, restrict his water, his crate is the right size, I feed him in his crate sometimes, I have tried EVERYTHING! What else can I do?? This morning I decided to leave his soiled towel in with him in hopes that he will learn why he shouldn't potty in his crate. I feel bad for doing it though, I mean who really wants to lay in their own urine? But I think he has learned that he can pee in it all he wants and then he'll get a brand new fresh towel. So any ideas? It is really starting to make me mad! I have to do a load of puppy laundry every other day and all my towels are now unusuable! I only have 1 people towel now!!

How big is your crate?

It was happened to my dog too when she was 3 months but after 4th month, I don't have that problem again. I hope that will happen to you too

wow everyone is so passionate which is good, but i think we forget that we all right in some way and we shouldn't loose track of the issue at hand. i would have the pup checked by the vet first to make sure nothing is medically wrong. because if this was something that has happened all of a sudden i would rule that out first. then i would look back to when the pup started to soil in his crate, was their any event or change in the pups life or yours to cause an up set in the routine? even the smallest change could up set a young pup who strives on routine. what was your inital reaction, did you make a big deal, did you get up set? or did you just clean it up? where is the crate located did that location move? i would for now not use the crate i would put the pup in a safe area, either in a ex pen or baby gate off the kitchen, front enterance or bathroom with a puppy pad ( not newspaper) for night time and when you are away, and for when you are home you can keep the pup teathered close to you so you can supervise what the pup is doing. the reason being the more times the pup is allowed to soil in the crate, he/she will just continue with out truly knowing what he/she is doing wrong.i would put the pup on a schedualed feed (morning, afternoon, evening meals)with approval with a vet, i would also go back to taking the pup out every 2 hours (15 -30min after eating, after naps, play time and of course morning and night and by taking out i mean on leash so you can reward the pup right after its gone outside. once the pup has proven that he/she can hold for 2 hours slowly increase it by half hour increments. once the pup can prove it can "hold it" for 4 hours for 2 weeks without any accidents i would start introducing the crate again, slowly building the time.(so start with 15min, then adding 15min each week). i hope this helps as well as sorry for the sp

Kalen,

I think you are spamming.

[somnio]

well im not spamming for one two my dog is trained and i would not suggest to use paper for anyone, its messy, can stain floors as well as you could have a dog that soils on anything paper anywhere.
i was writing to give a suggestion to those who have potty training troubles
