 Home alone
When did you start leaving your dog alone in the house?
She is in her crate 5 days a week from 7h45 am to 4h45 pm. She has water, toys and a blanket. I leave music on and she looks outside the patio door. She can hold her pipi for that long.
If I leave her loose in the house she cries and she recently (she is 9 months) started to chew anything woody... I feel she is not secure in the house.
Some of my friends said they started trusting their dogs at around 18 months to 2 years old...
I feel guilty and I would like to remove her from the travelling crate? And her crate is for Yorkies and Chihuahua... under 10 pounds. She is 5 pounds. I feel it could be a bit small but from what I see it should be ok. She can stand up and turn around. Thats about it!
I have two kids, so in the morning and at night she gets quite the exercise... Right now, in Ottawa CAnada, its winter and we had so much snow this year it is hard to bring her for walks...
Any thought on home alone dogs?
