If you aren't holding him You can't train him if you let him run around. Period. But there is no reason that you can't hold him at other times. But if you are busy, he needs to be in there. So many people are cleaning up their pets poop because they weren't strict about the crate training! And I am guilty of it too... so I can't exactly throw stones. But w/ puppies I am selling I am better and they are almost all trained when leaving me or w/i 2 wks of leaving me... so it does make a difference! |
