Re: Re: Re: Crate urination & Defication Posted in Feb/07

I suppose it could still be puppyhood but I would think it would be getting a little better by now. I use a crate inside of an x-pen. I don’t know if that would be of help to you though. I’m kind of going through the same thing. A week ago I adopted a 4 year old from a puppy mill. He is very sweet but oh so destructive. My understanding he has lived all of his life in a cage... so sad!! He needs watching 24/7 b/c of his chewing. However, he is not full of energy, thank goodness. Actually he is very laid back. I do have another pup that I took in about 2 months ago, she was an owner surrender. She’s a 16 week old Boston Terrier that is FULL of energy but she eventually calms down with walks and playing. BT’s are very hyper dogs so she is going to need lots of work to keep a step ahead of her.

Have you thought about doggie day care for her? That would give you a break and maybe help her get rid of some of that excess energy she has.

This is a Canadian Rescue… Note, I have not had any personal dealings with them.

You might try asking your question on dog.com I believe there are a couple of trainers on that board.

There is also another board with a lot of trainers but the name escapes me now. It’s late and I will be away in the morning. When I find it I’ll post it for you.

Hang in there while I try to think of something more...

Have a great day!
