My puppy won't stop messing in her kennel no matter how long she is in there.
I have and 2 mth old great dane. And I am trying to kennel train with her. Until I got the kennel I had to keep her in the bathroom. In which case worked just fine I expected her little bladder to fill up and she would use the potty in there. When I got the kennel it is rather large one for this dog because I wanted her to have room to play around if she got bored while I was at work. Ever since I have put her in that kennel no matter if it just long enough to run to the store for a few hours or all night she will urinate and poop multiple times in there and then step and lay in it. And evertime I get home I spend thirty minutes cleaning it and 20 minutes giving her a bath to get her clean. I don't put food or water in the kennel because I read on kennel training to not put it in there. Am I just doing something wrong I have had dogs that I have kennel trained but none of them ever did this.

Sometimes when a crate is too big a dog feels as though he has ample amount of space to create a "potty area",and still have enough room to get away from it to play and eat without being disturbed. Since you expressed that you bought a crate they could grow into this is probably the case. The key is to create a smaller area, dogs really only need enough room to stand up and turn around (den mentality).
If it continues to happen, you can create a division by placing a cardboard partition making the crate seem smaller than it is. As he grows and becomes potty trained you can remove the partition and not have the problem anymore. Hope this helps!! |

In addition to the above, try a Kong filled with peanut butter, perhaps even frozen. It may not work quite as well with a Great Dane as more food motivated dogs. I have suggested it for years, but never needed it until my current hellion. She may be the worst of the 18 puppies we have raised. I took her to a meeting Wednesday evening, and she was good while the peanut butter lasted. I ended up the last half hour down on the floor holding her on her side against my knees. It was the only way to keep her quiet.
