Hi Noelle. Maybe you could try just plain newspaper instead of the wee pads.
My Chi, Cricket doesn't chew her wee pads, so I guess I am lucky in that
aspect. Maybe Eddie would be less likely to tear up paper than wee pads. As
far as stepping in the poop, I don't think there is much you can do about it
since you aren't home to clean it up before he steps in it. Maybe he will grow
out of stepping in his poop as he gets older. Or, maybe you could expand his
space so he has more room. For instance, put a baby gate up in the kitchen so
he has the whole kitchen. And put the wee pads or paper on one side and his
toys, bed and food/water dishes on the other. I guess this would depend on the
size/shape of your kitchen, but that is what I would try. I, personally,
wouldn't crate him for a full work day unless you hire a pet sitter to come
during the day while you're gone. You should never crate a dog for more than 4
hours at a time.

Eddie is about 5 months now and is doing well on his wee wee pads. i
work full time during the day so when i got him i decided not to crate
him. i got him a nice kennel and put his wee wee pads in, blanket,
bone. He is fine when he is in it, but he will poop and then walk in it
and get it all over the palce or shred them to pieces. i just dont
understand. I am tired of cleaning it and i cant yell at him because i
have no idea what time of the day it happened and plus he is sooo cute
when i get home from work. Should i start crating him??? What is my
next step? I have tried the litter box with litter, litter box with
wee wee pads. i have even taped them to the ground. He doesnt care he
goes and then walks in it and i have to clean it when i get home. We
say he likes to do the cha cha. Any tips would be so great. thanks
Noelle
