    Do you have a room you can keep him in with a gate and a pee pad? We did that for awhile with our cockapoo and it worked. She has a doggy door and a fence now, but it worked for us. My parents have their Maltese trained to a dog litter box. You can get pretty good sized boxes. Just some alternatives.

    A two year old dog is fine for 8 hours in a crate. It's not ideal, but its not harmful. It sounds like the crate is the right size. So, your next step would be to take the dog to a Vet.

    def sounds lyou are doing every thing right. my beagle was crate trained when lil... i think i got rid of it when he was 2 ... he is 12 now and rarely has an accident. i would think that maybe your vet might be able to offer some insight into this.. maybe a medical issue. Oh, and beagles are runners so be careful with yours : )

    Its most likely anxiety. Try an enzymatic cleaner to break down the little scent particles their sensitive noses can pick up. Also these cute little guys are less than brilliant so he may not even realize what he 'should' do.

    Jenny- Yeah I left his bedding out of his crate this a.m and he was good and didn't have an accident!

    Joani- LOL He is kinda silly stupid, but I'd like to say he's getting better! Haha!

    Flutter- Wish I could get him out of the crate completely but worried he's going to mess in the house, and he is def a runner but like Joani he's kinda stupid, that nose gets him at a stopping point and then I walk up and get him, I never run after him b/c he likes the chase!

    therealangd- Thanks for the support, we will be making an appt ASAP!

    I've adopted 2 beagle mixes from our shelter LOL....Mr Shoeshine and Annabella ...Both smart dogs and wonderful family pets, I use to have a problem with Shoeshine...and looking back more times than not it was because he was upset with my husband HAHAHA...So with all your wedding planning, has howie been a little on the back burner??? When my hubbie would scold him for being on the bed and kick him out in a harsh voice he would come down stairs and crap on the floor...(I leave them in the bed (:) so I told him he could ASK him to leave nicely and believe it or not it has not happened since LOL...I also crate my dogs, nothing wrong with that at all..Because they do have anxiety and feel safer in their own space...He would also do it if i was really busy and gone too much out of the day..and he loves spending time with our other dog as well no accidents in a very long time...and it is much easier with 2 dogs than 1 :)
