So lately my 4 1/2 month cotton doodle (half coton de tulear and poodle) has been attacking the wee wee pad and when hes done the bits of it are everywhere. Since he has no wee wee pad hes got no where to pee and so when I come home there’s pee everywhere and and poo in the kitchen. We’ve tried domestic training with a cage but it hasn’t been working. Please help me!
crate train him!
the easiest way to do this is to put him in the crate with some blankets and pillows, and make sure they’re washable… Then leave him in there at night or whenever you aren’t home, he will learn that this is his bed and have a natural instinct not to pee or poo in there.
As for the wee pad there is no real way to make him not do this, my dog did it too. It’s just because he’s bored and puppies like to destroy things, especially paper things.
If you don’t want to leave him crated you could try leaving out a ton of toys in hopes that he won’t get bored, but most likely you will have to crate him, at least until he learns that pottying is for out doors only.

did you show him what the pad is for? they don’t automatically know a wee wee pad is for peeing. They do have a scent that attracts them but depends on the brand the scent might not work perfectly. If you didn’t do that, that’s a chew toy to the dog. They like to shed paper, if you leave your box of tissue around, you will see shedded tissue everywhere.
