If so, this could be one of the "problem." Also, you might want to check if her sleeping area or bed is warm enough during this cold weather. HTH Hi Kristin,

Are you confining your puppy in a small area? If so, this could be one of the “problem.” Also, you might want to check if her sleeping area or bed is warm enough during this cold weather.

I thought dogs didn't like to be so close to their own "business". Is there something wrong? My puppy is laying in her litter box like a little bed sometimes.

My puppy might grow to be 20" in length...will he have enough room to do his business?

One of our 3 dogs (small terrier mix)was attacked at 3AM when she went out the doggie door to pee. We acted quickly, and she has recovered from her wounds. We have a Yorkie and a Cocker Spaniel. We have since built an outdoor enclosure so the dogs go out the doggie door and into the enclosure. We built a garden-style box, lined it with plastic and put a piece of sod inside. We are now training them to go in the box. This is brand new....yesterday was the first day. My Yorkie does what he's told, but he peed on the flooring outside. I still praised him. It's outside, and it's in the right area. I'll follow up in a couple of weeks to see how we're doing. We recently had a coyote scare.

What I suggest is to train the alpha dog (hopefully the "easiest trained" one) first instead of training both at the same time. You don't have to wait for the first dog to be fully trained (on cue 90% of the time) before getting the second one to use the same litter box. Generally speaking, it's easier for non-dominating dog to follow what the alpha dog does. Hope this helps. :) Hi Teri,

What your dog needs is a little training and getting used to it. Any foreign objects can pose danger to any age group in dogs. If you are concerned, then avoid using it during their teething period unless you can provide close supervision. As to changing of the cartridge, according to the manufacturer, it says <blockquote>Nothing to fill, empty or clean for up to 30 days.</blockquote> This may varies on how often your dog eliminates.
