I have a black lab and a catahoula leaopard hound, both for hunting, that I raised myself...at a very young age from the breeder.....5 weeks.
I never kept them in a cage.....even when I was at school or at my internship last summer. I took them out early in the morning, before I left for school, during the lunch break or sometime in the afternoon, and then at night. I also made sure that they had their toys and dental hygeine chew bones so that they wouldn't "make a mess of things." They were potty trained very quickly and I never had a problem going in the house.
The only time I have ever put them in a cage is when I go hunting and I put them in the dog box in the back of my truck.
Cages are restraining and not very good for young developing puppies.
If your dogs are pissing in the crate and you don't discipline them, they will continue to go in the crate becuase they don't think anything is wrong.
Take your dogs snout, stick it in the area that he went and tell him no and give him a little swat. They will soon learn after a couple times what they are doing. I would lose the cage, let the dogs roam around in a room, and then train them by discipline not to go in the house....but you have to take them out 4,5,6 times for it to work.
....this is perfectly good obedience training, don't think i'm a dog beater or anything...I love my animals.
