It does sound like he spends WAY to much time in his cage and I agree that you can protect him many other ways besides putting him in a cage. Many people here use x-pens to keep their babies safe but also give them some space.
Again, please be patient with your baby and take lots of time to train him. I really do recommend Victoria Stilwell's book, "It's me or the dog"... it helped me out a lot. Training your baby can also be bonding time and you will be such a proud mama when your training pays off  |
Thanks so much for your reply. Do yo have any tips on helping him with the separation anxiety. Although it may have seemed like it in my post I don't cage him all day long. Thanks again!
