Hi he will get there eventually!!! Bailey took quite a while to get the toilet training bit and now he still looks for a little treat every time he goes he he!!! As with the crate he did the same the minute we closed the door he'd soil or wet so gave up in the end and managed without it by confining him to the kitchen with a baby gate. You just have to persevere and it all comes together in the end. Never thought we'd get there but we did and now going to go through it all over again in few weeks with new puppy (Oh Joy!!!!!)xx
