Help!!! We have just bought a springer spaniel pup, 8 weeks old! He is absolutley adorable! On the first day of having him, we had a few accidents but I have been persistent in taking him out every half hour or so and touch wood, for the past 2 days he has done all his business outside with no accidents.
My only problem is, I was given a crate to keep him in during the night and for an hour or so during the day if we go out. However, it seems the minute we put him in there he poos, i have put paper in aswel as his bed, but he ends up in a right smelly mess!!
I take him before we go to bed tr go out and he always does something and I dont make a fuss when i put him away.
Has anyone any ideas as to what I should do? I didnt set put to crate train as I really dont know how it works, just want to make sure he is safe at night! He also whines and yelps for a good hour when he first goes in and starts again even before light!
