Thank you! I got home and checked it again (I was in a rush earlier, because I was taking her to meet my parents for the evening). Everything was dry, which either means her pee dries very fast, or I was wrong in the first place. Hopefully all will be fine now, but any suggestions for how to retrain her for the crate if it continues?
Have I ruined the crate forever?
We screwed up a couple days ago and left our relatively new 7 month old dog in the crate longer than she could hold it. She peed in the crate. In the past week she hadn't had any trouble going 7-8 hours in the crate while we were at work or sleeping, but this was closer to 10 hours. Since the incident she's been crated for a couple of hours at a time and not had an issue, as well as being crated for up to 9 hours while we were sleeping without an issue.
Today was the first day we were both back at work after the weekend and I left her for 7.5 hours. I got home and she had peed in the crate.
Does this mean she no longer considers the crate a place to not pee? Is there any way to make it work again?
