Advice For House Training Puggle Puppy

RE: Advice For House Training Puggle Puppy Post By mel24 (Guest Post) (11/22/2008) My advice to you is that before you go to bed leave your puggle a snack and a toy in their crate that may solve the problem of your puggle eating its poop also it may be a good idea that even if you let it out before you put it in its crate when your sitting in bed watching tv before your abut to fall asleep let your puggle out once more.the last piece of advice that i have for you is that maybe your puggle gets scared at night if this is the reason then you should let it sleep in the room your in,give it a warm water bottle to sleep with,or let your puggle sleep in the bed with you.

If she has enough room to mess in one place and still lie down without being in the mess, her crate is too big. A dog considers a crate their den and they do not like to be in a messy den. Also at 4.5 months, she is really too young to "hold it" for extended periods of time. She may be eating the mess out of desperation to get it out of her den because she couldn't avoid making the mess in the first place. A pup her age needs to go out at least once every 4 hours. I know it is a bit of a pain right now, but in a couple of months she will be able to go all night without an accident. As an aside, Pugs and Beagles are notoriously difficult to potty train. Just be patient and this too shall pass.

She will learn to hold it as she gets older. That is the thing with animals they are just as much work, if cared for properly, as human kids but I find them far more preferable!

So, something is wrong with her and that crate! Have your vet check her to be sure she doesn't have any bowel problems, and then try letting her sleep in a different area. BTW, what is a "puggle"? Good luck and God bless you! Report Spam or Abuse
