4 or 5 weeks old is too young im pretty sure
we werent able to get our puppy until she was 8 weeks old or so. and even after that there was a learning curve for training her
whats wrong with a crate thats too big?
just like he said, the dog can safely poop away from it's living area
it's called be the alpha, smash that little shit into submission if you catch it dropping turds in the crate.....
i kid. too young most likely, keep the smaller crate it'll figure it out...
pics of said dog you c-hunt. it better not be some girly dog either, i'll find you and smash your car if it is.
4-5 is much too young. Pup should still be w/ the litter.
But anyway, my suggestion is to keep that pup by your side on a little leash and watch like a hawk. Rush outside when it gets ready to go.
trying that, she is such a sneaky pisser
