Faith is a 10 week old female boxer. She's my first dog and has been awesome so far. Currently, she's just peeing almost defiantly, I'll take her out for 10 minutes to pee and when I think she's done, we go inside and she starts peeing. I yell at her to stop and she gets startled and then I take her outside. I leave her for a few minutes and clean up with pee with some vinegar. Then I take her inside and we carry on with our day. She's been great with #2's but peeing has been about 1 - 2 accidents a day. I think she's fine in terms of exercise, diet, water etc. She's also had a couple crate accidents, but that might be because I did hear her yelp at night.
Also is the crate ever to be used to punish? If she for example pee's in the house, should I put her in her crate? She spends a lot of time in there in general. But I don't know what to do with her after she's had an accident, if anything.
Thanks!!! I love this forum.
