try at least to pen him instead of keeping him in a crate for any length of time |
yes, but when i leave the house, he needs to learn to stay in his crate... lol. and if i pen him while i leave the house for a few hours, he will pee and/or poop all over inside the pen. he's being crate trained right now. and i never leave him in there for an excessive amount of time, i'm nearly always home with him so it's not like he's in there 24/7. he gets loads of love and attention. my other dog was crate trained for the first year and never barked like
that. she would whine at first, but would stop after a few minutes.
and as i said, even when he is NOT crated and has free roam of my bedroom, he whines & cries until i get back in the room, lol
it's sweet but wow!
