Hello all- I am brand new to this forum. I have two wonderful boxers. The first, Zoey, is a three year old fawn. She is super sweet & a little bit of a drama queen. She's senstive & likes things just so. She loves other dogs, and seemed a little lonely. So back in May, we started thinking about another boxer. That's when we found Daisy. She is a white female w/ one fawn colored ear. She is absolutely the biggest sweetheart & very mellow for a boxer. She's not nearly as nervous as Zoey has always been & seems to have a calming effect on her. Daisy is now 7 months old & I love her to death.
We're having one little problem... I can't seem to get her to housebreak. We're doing crate training (as we did with Zoey). Unfortunately, Daisy will urinate in her crate (even if she's just in there for an hour or 2). We have a big crate, but have put a divider in it to make it the proper size for a 45 lb puppy. She also still pees in the house, and this of course is a problem. I'm kind of at a loss. I don't know what else to do to discourage soiling her crate and my house. At 7 months, we were letting Zoey free in the house for several hours with no accidents. I wouldn't dream of letting Daisy loose for even an hour.
Anyone else have trouble house training their boxer? I would be very grateful for any advice you could offer. Thank you.
