After saying that the wire crate was like a prison for his puppy, I advised the national service young man to extend the restricted zone for the puppy by using barricades like fences.

He bought 3 panels of fences to enclose the wire crate. The 4th side of the crate was against a wall of the dining area. In this way, the Jack Russell had more space to exercise.

In the bigger space, the newspapers were located outside the wire crate on the left half side. The puppy peed on the newspapers. Sometimes poop on the tiled floor on the lower right of the floor paln, in front of his crate. He used the crate as his bed and kept it clean.

However, when let out of the restricted zone, the 4-month-old puppy, now coming in for vaccination booster, would look for corners and peed there. A piece of soiled newspapers in the living area corner would sometimes be used as toilet but not all the time.



It was not possible to observe him all the time for signs of wanting to pee and then put him onto the papers. So, he would go to those nooks and corners to pee.

What is the solution?

1. Obstacles to block up the corners. Not practical.
2. Neutralise with vinegar:water 1:3. This was done.

I needed to follow up again. He promised to send me some pictures of the housing for this active Jack Russell.
