When I first got my puppy, she was 8 weeks old. She's 10 weeks old now, and I just realized she's been using her crate as a bathroom. I had a blanket in there, so I didn't notice it until a couple of days ago.
I've cleaned the crate thoroughly and removed the blanket, but now she'll still go to the bathroom in the crate and then cry afterward. She doesn't give me any warning beforehand. by the time she cries, it's already too late.
The strange thing is she won't go to the bathroom anywhere else in the house, only in her crate. Does anyone have advice on how to break this habit?
