Westie & Crate?

The night we got him, my westie would sleep in my german shepherds old cage. Now, I got him another crate, that is for his size. He can stand up turn around and sit and lie down. But I feel really bad because I keep thinking he needs a bigger cage. Right now, he’s not potty trained and thats what I want to do with him. In his new crate, he whines for 10 minutes( second day we got him), but then I think he looks sad. Should I get him a bigger one?:S

How Do I Stop My Puppies From Urinating In Their Crate???

I’ve been crate training my 8 month old yorkie/westie mix and she’d been doing perfect until a few weeks ago when my cousin “forgot” to let her out to pee. Now, she keeps on peeing in her crate even if i only keep her there just to run to the store! Someone please help, as I bought the crate so I wouldn’t have to clean anything up anymore… and now it’s pointless!

My Westie Puppy Is Going To The Toilet In Her Crate.?

we have recently moved a month ago, in our previous house she was house trained, and can understand sit, stay.
Because of the new enviroment we decided to crate train her, which was helping her settle in.
over the last week she has been going to the toilet in her crate, she also used to bark if she wanted to go out but no longer does this? why is this? and how do i ensure she doesn’t do it, as i have always been told and read that a dog will not go to the toilet in their bed area. help!!

Puppy Crate Training At Night?

I just got a 9 month old westie puppy. I am trying to crate train him and he is doing very well with the toilet thing, but he still has bad separation anxiety. His crate is in my bed room and when I get up at night to use the bathroom and he starts barking less than 30 seconds after I leave the room. He also sleeps as close to the edge of the crate as possible just to be close to me. I am really tempted to let him sleep in bed with me because ultimatlly, once he is fully house broken, that is what I would like to do. What should I do?
Any additional advice about crate training and taking care of puppies would be much appreciated.

Crate Training And Litter Box Question.?

I have a Westie who is being crate trained. I live in a high-rise so I would like to also get him used to using a litter box. Is it alright to have the litter box inside the crate? The rest of the crate would be covered by his bed area.

I Have A 10 Week Old Westie That Doesn’t Crate Train Well.?

My westie puppy is proving to be hard to potty train. I have tried the crate but she will use the bathroom in the crate and it is not big enough for her to use one end and sleep in the other.She would have been a mess if I hadn’t been watching. She had just been outside the 3 times it has happened and came in and used her crate.I have her in a small penned in area in my kitchen now with puppy pads when I am not home. I take her out first thing in the morning around 5 am, as soon as I get home and approx every hour after untill around 10 at night. She will occasionaly pee outside, but has only deficated once. I praise her and offer puppy treats, the very few times it has happened but… I don’t think it happens often enough for her to make the connection. She will try to hold it while we are outside only to come in and go. Help!!!! I am hoping time will make a difference but I am very frustrated. I want to be able to allow her free reign of the house but that looks to be a long way off. The problem is probably me – I am not used to a dog in the house, but she is a joy in every other way.
