Will he EVER be housebroke? We are crate training

[demtenjeep]

Seems he does really well, then we have an accident.


We have a puppy a boxer he is 13 weeks old and we have had him for 3 weeks. We have crated him every night and for brief periods during the day. We take him outside regularly immediately after he wakes up, after he eats and after he drinks.

We say lets go OUTSIDE to go PODDY and we praise him when he does go

Why are we still having accidents?

1. Because it's only been three weeks and he's just a baby. nt

2. so you are saying just havemore patience

3. You're doing fine. He'll get it.

Just be patient and really clean up the spots, and he'll catch on.

4. 12 weeks is about the earliest you can expect them to really start learning

You just started a little too early.
If the first dog year is equivalent to 5 human years he's only like a 15 month old kid, who'd still be wearing diapers.
Your praise will help a lot. ;)
