I just ought a west highland terrier on Sunday, Feb. 11. I am having a huge problem crate training him. He alway soils in his crate, goes #2. I made sure the cage is not too big and it is the correct size. I always take him out before he goes in the crate too but yet he still seems to go.
I keep him in the crate at night for about 6.5 hours while I sleep and I make sure he goes out before that and he does go. I also make sure he doesn't eat late, I feed hime 3 times a day. I even tried getting up a couple times in the middle of the night to take him out and still he soiled in his crate. I am very frustrated and I do not know what to do. I had a pug before and crate trained him and he never once soiled his crate. Can someone please help me because I do not know what to do from here. Should I call my vet?
