[nercwys 10]

My english springer is 14 weeks old now and for some reason if i put a blanket or quilt in her kennel she is sh!ting in there.

Can anyone tell me why and how to stop this.

no itse not the space mate its just the age of the dog she is only 14 weeks old got a lot to learn yet

my 2 dogs have the house to run around the dog has nevr had a pee int he garden never mind the house the pup i got did pee any were for the first 3 weeks now she is the same

it does not mater how much space they have its them they will get over it just needs time

I'd disagree I found when I cut the space down the bitch stopped pissing inside sleeping area

Definately not the space, my cocker has a L 5 x H 3 x D 2 ft kennel. Its too big but it does the job. She has never shit in it. Does the odd Pee and poo in the run when left for a couple of hours.

try reading the rest of what i w=sent to mate not just a little bit of it and answer that they have the run of the house and garden and do not piss or shit in it at all not many got run like that have they

Did read all of it I was using my own experience my kennell run is 8'x4' and sleeping area was about 5'x4' Ive cut the sleeping area and no longer have this issue.

got you now mate is your dog on its own to

got you now mate is your dog on its own to

 

It was at that time now doubled but no further repeats so far, I found keeping the sleeping area smaller and cosy fixed the problem
