| kennel training 1 year old/ Do I put food in kennel?? So I had a post going on in the training section but it has been quite a few days now and no one answered it. Figured if I post in here someone will..lol I will be kennel training my Bailey soon I started with bells at my door and I ring them with her everytime we go outside. she is still not understanding what they are for and still not doing her potty outside as she is fully pee pad trained. So i decided to put her in a kennel during the day and take her out at lunch time and when i get back from work at 5pm. Because she aways had the run of the kitchen with her pee pads/food and water, should I put her food and water in the kennel as well or just water or should she be able to wait until she is out of the kennel to eat? Just want to make sure I am doing this right. Thanks

| Every dog is different, but I am still potting training 2 boys, they are @ 9 months old. They eat only kibble, once in the am, once in the pm. I do not put food or water in their kennel. They are in the kennel from 9 am until 11 am when I come home at lunch, I put them back in the kennel at noon and I let them out again at 3 pm when I get home. Bailey should be fine in her kennel for the times you described. She is old enough to hold herself for 5 hours and then some. There is no reason she would need food or water while in there. If you are worried about the water issue, put an ice cube in her dish. Good luck. My two are pretty trustworthy in the house now. When I got them at 4 months they were pad trained but not outdoors. I rather not use the pads as they have access to outside through doggy doors, when they're not in the kennel.
