landrover 6 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Both pups are treated the same, as for been hungry will try that they get ther last meal between 5.30 to 6.00pm, but when we let them out, open the back door to the garden they have a sniff about maybe a pee if your lucky and they go straight back to bed by the time the doors shut their a sleep. and they will both be having a litter if only the one.

Guest MOLLY Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I had the same probs with young pups...it really helps with toilet training, sometimes you have to be prepared for a while of it, it doesnt last long, but its what pups do...just like any young MOLL.

landrover 6 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Both pups are fully house trained the door is left open all day for them and it s been happenen since november Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 If they are not crying for the loo, leave food in like max said....otherwise id say they are doing it because it works, gets you up. Id try putting loads of blankets on their cage to muffle the sound, wear ear plugs and ignore them to break the habit? MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cyndi 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have, after covering the crate with a blanket the night before, snuck up on the noisy dog and shook the crate real good and scolded them. It usually only takes two or three times of this cage rattling for them to get the idea. Try it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
