in the kitchen and got rid of the crate, he hated it.
He would jump the 32" gate daily so I had to put two up
one on top of the other.
After three months of this I gave him full range of the house
leaving bedroom doors closed. He chewed up the throw rugs
one after the other but when the chewing stopped he just slept
until I got home. Almost 5yrs later we do the samething.
Today of course he touches nothing but still has stressfull moments
when I leave. |
I couldn't use an X-Pen or stack gates as my Yorkie is "Spider Girl" she climbs straight up and over everything. I'd never seen a dog climb like she does before.
