QuestionHi, I have just bought a 7months old maltese. The first day I had him he did his buisness outside, the first night I left him in my room with my 3years old golden retrieve ; in the morning I worke up with about 4-5 small piles of poop and pee. So i bought a cage. Second night: put him in my sisters room in his cage, with my dog in my room; everything was allright. It has been the 2 past nights where he his only barking non-stop and this past night barking and pooping in his cage. We take his water and food 2-3hours before going to sleep. What should i do? Any tricks are ways I should handle this situation?
AnswerAre you feeding regular meals? A morning and early evening feeding should be all he needs. When he makes his last trip outside, make sure he walks around enough to stimulate a bowel movement.
You could also have the crate in the same room as the other dog.
