What's this Rottie mommy to do?
So hubby and I purchased not 1 but 2 Rottweiler puppies as a early Christmas present for our children. We knew coming into this that it was going to be a bit of a challenge. We originally had them together in a crate but our Vet told us it was better to separate them sooner then later so we did. We work long hours but I am able to let them out for about 30 minutes or so in the middle of the day. Our problem is that both puppies pee in the crate on one of them poops all the time in the crate. I understand that they don't have a lot of bladder control at this age but my concern is the pooping didn't start until they were separated they are now 13 weeks old (we've had them since around 8 weeks). They go out several times a day we are very consistent and they go out nearly every hour on weekend and they still continue to eliminate in there crates. I am extremely frustrated and have even thought about rehoming 1 of them and if this doesn't get any better both. They smell from being in their own waste and I really don't know what else to do. Any suggestions for this working family. We have hardwood floor in the majority of our house so leaving them alon in a room and having urine seep into the cracks is not an option. I have thought about our bathroom but they fight all the time and I don't know if that would be a good choice either.
Did I bite off more then I could chew or is there any help for the Rottie Mama??
