Crate training and potty training

[Jodi Davis]

I need some advice.  We brought our second doodle, Miles home at 6 weeks old.  I now think we shouldn't have got him that young.  Miles is now 8 weeks old and he still pees in his crate every night and cries every hour while in his crate.  I'm ready to pull my hair out!  My 5 year old, Dugan was so easy to train.  I take water away from Miles at 7pm, place him in his crate at 11 and take him out to potty at 2am and 5am...  Should I be doing something different?   Thanks!!

The crate is small... I just take the bottom out and clean it with a tiny bit of soap..I need an enzyme cleaner it sounds like.  I had no idea that would make a difference..  Thank you.

Petco or Petsmart will carry at least 2 brands.
Keep us posted! Fingers and paws crossed it helps!

We got our new girl a Snuggle Puppy and with the warmer and "heartbeat" it made the biggest difference..the wetting went on for 2-3 weeks but once she had the Snuggles there she'd go back to sleep draped over it. It really made the biggest difference. Good luck. Remember "this too shall pass"!

I'm relieved to know other pups wet their crate too...  I have not heard of a snuggle puppy, but I'm googling it now..Thank you!!
