Our 12 week pup recently got a crate. She’s been doing great for toilet training but urinated in it today. It wasn’t much but the crate door was open and she was playing with her toys and chose to use the crate. Any advice?

She’s urinating as usual but she is going to the vet’s in a few hours so I can ask about a UTI.

Could it be excitement from play time?

assuming she’s clear of a UTI, at this point in time, you need to make sure she goes out every half hour.

yes, half hour.  without fail.  until she starts holding her urine for an hour, then you can back it up to every hour.

it’s very possible she’s overly excited, but i think it’s always best to rule out a UTI in cases of incontinence in bitch puppies. they seem to be prone to them when young. in fact, the only time mine urinated in her crate, she had a UTI.

good luck. 🙂
