crate question

okay i bought the next size crate for the pups , they didnt have any problem in the smaller crate but now they think they can just go . they can stand up turn around and lay down but it looks like i smooshed them in the crates.

do i let them ride things out in the small one?

will they grow into the cgae and grow out of this habit? im at a loss i hate to cram them in the small cage but i dont want the habit formed of going in the crate? any suggestions heres a pic so you can see how much room they dont have in the small cage i dont have a divider either when they do goin the bigger one they stand up they wont sit or lay in ti so i guess that is good

I would continue to use the smaller crate for a little while, it won't be too long before they are too big for it. I just try to time their food and water so they eliminate it before they are in the cage for the night. It sometimes works, lol. If they won't stop you can send them to me and I will take care of it

well i think its alright. I perfer the plastic crates but i do have the medal ones to. I think all house dogs need to learn how to be crate trained. They should be able to stay in their crate all night with no complaint and not going potty in the crate. Good luck i hope they like their new crate

ill keep that in my mind when they are being bratty lol , i dont think its the eating and drinking schedule i just think they felt oh i can go in here its bigger, but now they dont seem to be doing it , maybe they didnt realize as much room as there was they still had to stand in it lol .

we are on day 4 with no accidents woo hoo in the house that is
