I havent been out without him yet, only had him just coming up to 3 weeks. |
Lexi was kennel trained as a puppy, I think this had a huge impact on the way she is. For example even when she can't sleep in the bed, she has no problem finding another spot to curl up.
My boyfriend's doberman was not kennel trained and slept on the bed since he got her. When I moved in this became a big problem because she's a bed hog and I'm a light sleeper. We started putting her in the kennel a year old and it took her much longer to catch on - she whined and made a fuss for months! She has to sleep in the kennel because she won't sleep anywhere else, she always ends up sneaking on the bed with us.
Keep crate training your little guy, he'll get used to it eventually
Its better to do it when they are young.
