I tried the laundry room for a few days...I have never heard my Snickers be so scared. When we would close the door-he would FREAK OUT!!! So we made some changes-
1. We are having him sleep in his crate again, some whimpering, but eventually he falls asleep. I bought him one of those microwave puppy pals to sleep with so he feels like there is a body with him. Works well!
2. We put him back in his crate during the day now that he has slept in it for 3 days, and we made the crate bigger (to help with my guilt that my baby is locked up) so now he can move around more.
3. He did not soil his crate today
And seems happier...
4. When we eventually try to leave him in the house, we will not start with the laundry room, he hates this room since when we 1st got him, he was in his crate in that room all by himself b/c his mom and dad were silly enough to leave him alone in there instead of putting his crate in our bedroom. Some dogs can be alone...not our Snickers...xoxo
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP...MORE QUESTIONS ON THE WAY
