Our Boston Terrier puppy just turned 4 months old and we had her since
she has been 6 weeks old. At the beginning we kept her in the kitchen,
where she has a bed and her toys. We used a baby gate between the doors
when we were not around, but getting up early for work and unable to fix
tea w/out cleaning the floor at first became a problem. I have asked my
vet and was told to use a crate. Now we use a crate, but she always
manage to pee and poop in there every time. We have a fenced in back
yard and we let her run around there when we are at home and also we
take her for walks in the morning and in the evening (when we get home).
We let her know that she was bad, but she runs into her bed into the
kitchen and stays there. I am pretty sure that she knows being bad, but
maybe tries to punish us.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to brake her for using bathroom
in the crate?
Thanks! |

She's not bad. It's not her fault that she can't hold it overnight.
Stop punishing her, and start taking her out more frequently.
Make sure you go out with her and praise her every time she potties.
Since you've misused the crate, you're going to have a hard time
stopping her from relieving herself in it. I'd recommend ditching
it for now, and tethering her to you when you are home and awake.
At night, keep her in your room with you, so that she can wake you
up if she has to go out.
Also, you might look in rec.pets.dogs.behavior for a recent thread
on housebreaking. There are some good resources listed there.

How large is the crate? Too big and some puppies feel free to eliminate
in there. Where did she come from?
Scheduling feedings and outings is essential, particularly for small
breeds.

I got her from a breeder. I got the crate at Petco, and was told that
it would be right size for her breed. Hoewever, it is pretty large for
her and I was told to use the spacer for now. She gets to run in back
yard free in the morning for a hour or longer before we take her for a
walk and then when we get home in the afternoon, she is outside for
about 4-5 hours. And between we take her for a walk as well and inside.
Especially, when we watch TV, she is either in our lap or somewhere
around us. When we go to bed, she goes back to the crate. I don't
think that I am doing it wrong, just wonder why she is saving her poop
for the night. We try to feed her around 5 PM. >> Stay informed about: puppy training |

Is she ALONE during that time outside? When housebreaking, you need to
be there when she eliminates - to encourage, to praise, to know that
it's happened.
If she is alone outside for that period of time, why?

WHERE is her nighttime crate?

He plays with her the entire hour in the morning and 4-5 hours in the
afternoon? Somehow, I'm skeptical. Does he make sure she eliminates
first thing out and right before coming in?
She's a small breed. get another [small] crate and keep it next to your
bed overnight. Nighttime is for sleep. Perhaps once she's near her
people and doesn't have a noisy radio, she'll learn to sleep and not
poop in there.

Sorry, not the entire time. He plays w/her and then he comes inside to
do other stuff. I forgot to mention that we keep the door open/ cracked
open so she can come and go. That's of course when we are around. >> Stay informed about: puppy training |

Bad? How can a 16 week old puppy be bad? She's an infant, and you are
neglecting her horribly. To leave her alone outside for 4-5 hours is just
awful. When I brought Kiba home at 12 weeks he wasn't alone, not one single
minute, for at least two months. I took him outside for potty at least
every half hour, and he slept in my room, in his small crate. I was up
every hour for weeks to make sure he was OK. If he wasn't on my lap or
feet, he was tethered to me, so I knew where, what and how he was doing at
all times. I did it, because that's what owning a dog means. Looking after
them, especially if they're infants. At the risk of being spanked by the
regulars here, I have to wonder why you have a dog at all.
