Hello,
I just adopted a beautiful mutt. He has been home with me 3 days. At night he sleeps in his crate (a travel size bag). Wanted to make him pp indoors in the bathroom but he just wouldn't so I just took him to the balcony and it worked! He is just turning 8 weeks.
Our routine starts at 6-7 am I take him out the crate to the balcony. He does his business and we go eat in the kitchen. We play for about 20-30 mins he p&p again and go into his crate until 11am-12 pm. Repeat. Repeat again around 5-6pm. Before going to bed at 10 we play. He does pp and off to bed. Around 430 am I take him out to pp.
I really don't like to have him the whole day in the crate so I have prepped the bathroom with a gate and pads so it can be his "play pen" so he only goes to his crate at night. I am wondering if this is ok. He cries either way. In the crate or the bathroom. I just want him to have a little bit more space.
Thanks for your help!
