Why won't my dog stop peeing in his/her crate? Our members help tackle this common problem...
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!!
