No barking/digging/scratching/howling/peeing/pooping.....destruction and discontent of any kind inside the crate or out and about in a building of any kind.
Anyway, I just saw a post above mine advising it and thought I'd jump in w/ my 2 c. |
Thank you, I appreciate the 2 cents
So if I did crate training, does that mean getting rid of puppy pads for good? It also gets to be about -20 celsius here sometimes in the winter. I'm not sure he could go out when it's that cold. Can he be both crate and pad trained? Or does anyone have a dog who is fully pad trained and doesn't have accidents?
