i've read a couple articles, and they say to put his things in the crate (his blankets, toys, bowls) so he knows it's his, and let him explore on his own or, if he won't, encourage him to do so with treats. is that right? then when he's comfortable in there, close the door for short periods of time while you're home, until he's comfortable in there by himself for a while.
did i miss anything? |
