My Maddie is 18 months. She KNOWS when we are leaving and going to put her in her crate. She doesn't mind the crate, she goes in there on her own at night to sleep and naps in there during the day. I also pick her up to take her outside to a pen to go potty even though I have a fenced back yard. I do this because we can't catch her and "make" her come back in the house after she potties and it is quicker than leashing her everytime. Anyway, when she knows we are wanting to pick her up, she starts this "boxing" type routine where she lowers her front and dances side to side. If you reach for her she runs in circles and just darts around. When we finally corner her, she will just stand there and let you pick her up and look at you like, dummy, what took you so long! |
