Hi all, new poster and first time puppy owner. Hollie is a female 3/4 beagle, 1/4 dachshund cross. She is 13 weeks old. Currently I can crate her at night ok however if my partner does she gets upset and barks and whines. Same if we need to crate during the day at all, if I crate her she will have a whine but will settle without being all that destructive. She tries to pull the blanket covering her cage through the bars at most. When my partner crates her she barks, tries to break out the cage and usually wees and poos in her cage.
Even if we are both in the house and my partner leaves or goes upstairs she will bark and claw at the door when I'm sat in the room with her. If either of us try to shut her in the kitchen etc she will claw at the door and wee at the door.
Toilet training, we had to start on puppy pads due to us having guinea pigs and our neighbours having cats. Now she has her injections we want to move her toilet to outside however currently we are in the position where she will only poo on a puppy pad in the corner of our living room near the front door and will wee here, around the doorway to the kitchen and at the back door in the kitchen on rare occasions. We are wanting her to go to the backdoor so she can go in the garden and we are getting the pads closer to the back door for wees however she wont poo anywhere else and if we move the pads she will just go on the floor. If I put her outside she refuses to wee or poo, even if we put a pad down with her scent on. She also wont wee or poo on walks but goes as soon as she is back in the house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the long post!
