My bulldog is about 3 months old. I am trying to crate train him. He just keeps peeing in there. I have been told dogs won't pee where they sleep. I am beginning to think that this is a load. He pees during the day. He pees at night. There is no rhyme or reason to it. His crate is not too big. I have made it so small that he just barely fits. Some say that dog has to be calm to put him in the crate. This is not always the case with my dog. He doesn't always want to go in there, but if the dog has to be calm doesn't that defeat the purpose of crate training in the first place. I rarely feed him after six oclock and I restrict his water at night as well. I am really getting frustrated with him. He will come in and promptly pee in his crate. He has made it through a night so I know he can. I am starting to think he just does it because he can. What the heck else can I do? Should I just give up? My brother got a great dane puppy at the same time and age and she doesn't seem to do it nearly as ofter or at all. The only time she seems to is if I take him out and leave her in the cage to take out second.
