Hello everyone,
Me and my wife just got a boxer puppy on friday. His name is Max and he is 8 weeks old now. He is doing very good and learning really fast. He was trained on the potty pads where we got him and now he will only go outside unless its our fault for not taking him out. He has only had 2 accidents in the last 3 days. I was wondering what the thoughts are on keeping him in the bathroom while me and my wife are at work. Today is the first day he has been by himself. We put him in there because its tile floor, easy to clean. I gave him a teething kong with some of the spray filling in between the grooves of it along with a long pillow he likes to lay on, and the blanket he sleeps on in bed. We originally bought a gate to put up in front of the door but the doorway for our bathroom is too small for it so i just had to close the door, which will probably be scratched up. I was wondering if its better to get a kennel or crate to put him in during the day or if putting him in the bathroom is ok? My parents used to have a pug that they always put in the bathroom and it worked out well for him. He was being fed Pedigree puppy chow before we got him and after reading on this forum alot i decided to switch him to the chicken soup for the puppy lovers soul. Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Kody
