@dana-k actually Dana, I do not believe the trainers say that eventually, they come to like their 'safe place'. Mine now will stay and eat in his crate, when the door is open. If i try to close it, i see the look of a prisoner, and he definitely wants to get away. I would have felt the same, btw. Currently, when i go out i 'crate' him in my salon. Until now, no real damage was done, at least not different from the damage he tries to do (like eat the plants) when i am with him.
Plz help- will pee in his crate when locked!

i just recently got my B, and the first night i had him,
i locked him up into his crate, said goodnite and went to sleep,
10 minutes later, i come into the room and find him in his own pee and poo,
with his paws between the wires of the carte!!!:eek:any suggestions on good behavior for this???
thank you!!:)

When you have a new puppy, there is an adjustment period… first, I keep their crates in my bedroom so that if a pup needs to go out, I am able to hear them and get them up and out... Also, did you make sure that he pottied first? Had he ever been in a crate?... They don't just take to coming into a new home and then being locked in a crate without some "crate training"....
