How can I get my Dog to stop pooping/peeing in her crate?
I adopted a 9-month-old beautiful husky last week. Her last owners kept her in her kennel, 24/7 so to her, it's her bathroom and her bedroom. We walk her about once an hour when we are home. She's only in her kennel when we are at work and when she eats because we have 2 other dogs, and she wants to eat their food as well. She could be in her kennel for not even 2 minutes and had already gone to the bathroom. She doesn't show any indication that she has to go. She goes to the bathroom outside too; we will walk her until she goes to the bathroom so that she doesn't have any accidents, but she still goes immediately when entering her crate. I am completely out of ideas. I give her treats when she goes outside, I have put bedding in her crate, I feed her in her crate, I have taken the bedding out. She will poop and walk all in it in her kennel. Does anyone have any tips for me?
Take her out to potty before you put her in and don't leave her in there for to long ..give her a treat when she goes out to potty.and bleach the kennel so it doesn't smell like peepee
crates shouldn’t be too big that they can really get into the position of going to the bathroom. I might consider getting a smaller crate. I also always have blankets down. Definitely want to make sure that she goes to the bathroom before.
