[QUOTE="witzend, post: 535677, member: 99"] We did really well with the crate with both Oscar and Mandy. Not so much with Bubba. You have to have a strong resolve for it. Oscar was so easy to train because he was just a little tyke and we'd put him in there with Mandy right from the get-go. He outgrew that in about 3 weeks. But, we got a giant wire crate, and then put them in together a few times while also training him to sit and stay with a special treat that he only got while training. A week or so later, we would get that treat and walk towards the crate and he would [I]run[/I] down the hall and push the door open with his nose to get into it. No problemo. As far as piddling, are they inside much? If they're outside all of the time they just won't know not to pee everywhere. If it's inside and out, you have to make sure that they know that they go outside to potty. So, you make sure that when everyone is calm and settled - when they normally potty - get up and scoop them up or take them out on the lead and say "Potty!" Then say [B]"Potty!"[/B] [I]"Potty!"[/I] "Potty [U]potty[/U] [I]potty[/I] [B]potty[/B]!" Then when they go potty outside say [I][B]"YAY! POTTY!"[/B][/I] and give them great big loves. You'll know when they know how to do this. Oscar and Bubba (Mandy came to us trained) [I]both[/I] knew how to go out to go potty after a week or two, and they both at one point walked to the door and piddled on the rug. With both of them I rubbed their noses in it and scolded and put them out and they never did it again. That only really works when they already have the idea that outside is for potty, though. Is that a photo of the pup there? He's adorable! [/QUOTE]
