Thought I'd reopen this old post. Having major crate issues with Tanner lately. It seems almost every time I put him in he has been peeing. It's so aggravating. He is now 6 months old (25 weeks to be exact). I've tried taking out his bed, leaving it in, monitoring his water, getting him super tired out before he goes in. Nothing is working.
Is it just possible I have a dog who is more difficult to train himself that he can "hold it"? Being off of work for awhile I've been really working with him on it, but my boyfriend and I went to meet some friends this evening, we were gone for less than 3 hours and came home to a soaking wet bed. We were gone during what is his usual sleep time, and he can hold it through the night.
I feel like I've tried everything but if anyone has had similar experience with their (older) puppy I'd be interested in what you have to add. I should add that this has been going on or the past couple of weeks now. I'd like to be a little more lenient with him but at 6 moths I don't feel like I'm expecting too much.
