Augh! Remi was doing so well - until recently. He is 14 weeks old. He can hold it at least 6+ hours at night, and I know he can hold it for 4 hours during the day. He NEVER pees at night in his crate. I had to go on a 5 hour appointment, and he peed in his crate. I was mad at myself, because I didn't think he could hold it, but being so young, I knew the crate was the safest place for him until I returned. Regardless, he still didn't want to pee in his crate.
Then another day when I had a 5 hour appointment, I thought perhaps I should have his bed on one side of the crate, and his pee pad on the other. That was a horrible idea. He peed all over his bed; he peed at least 3 times in 4 hours. Now I KNOW he can do better than that. He wasn't trying to hold it at all.
So, we've added the divider back so he just has enough room to lay down/turn around. The issue? He is peeing in his crate all the time, even for short periods (less than 2 hours). I take him outside constantly and he is refusing to go. We'll be out there for 20 minutes. HELP! How can I get him back on track?>! We're going backwards here!!
