Here are my plans and any ideas and suggestion are greatly appreciated. My guys have poor potty habits and its due to me getting sick and being unable to properly train them. Well, they where trained and because I wasn't able to keep on top of it, they became carefree puppies in this department again. We were doing pee pad training for the most part but one of my boys loves to shake things up and the pee pad apparently had it coming every time. And going outside was difficult for me. My husband became feed up with shredded pee pads and pee that he decided to take away the pee pad and let them go on the kitchen floor where the pee pad was. Now they not only pee there but where every their hearts desire. I know it was a bad move from our part but we were working with what we had. We are now considering doing the crate training again but find that we come to a problem with the 3 of the them. The boys are always 2gether and Snuggles could care less. We were thinking of either one of these options.

1. By a giant breed crate for the 3 on them and put in this pet bed that is on a metal frame 12" of the ground so they can lay in and keep a pee pad on the floor part in case of an accident ; or

2. Buy 3 individual crate and basically do the same thing with the pee pad and bed.

Their current situation is run of the kitchen and living room, The are gated off from the other areas because the boys pee on everything. They sleep on the futon we have and basically the boys have made the legs and table ends their post. Snuggles is actually good at potty training because she likes to jump into the tub to do her business. but because of the boys she ends up gated off as well. I've done the keeping them in the kitchen and my kitchen is a good size for it being in an apartment and Snitch started chewing my walls and spyro on the cabinets. So to avoid problems we opened up the living room as well to them . and it solved the chewing problem.

I'm sorry for the long story , but I hope its helps you see where I'm currently at as far as training. I know where back to square one..its how best to make the next steps.

Thanks in advance.
