 Is she too young to roam free in house?
Out little Faith is 5.5 months old. Since 8 weeks, she has been in an x-pen any time we leave home or when we are at work. The past week she has been escaping from her pen. How do determine when they are ready to roam free? She is potty trained to go outside and if she has to go potty while we are not home, she goes on an emergency potty pad we have in our bathroom. She doesn't chew on anything she isn't supposed to chew on except for paper. She hasn't done a single bad thing the past week after escaping from her pen. Our 3 year old Yorkie started to roam free about 6 months old. He was crated and figured out how to escape from the crate at that age. Our trainer at that time told us to just let him roam free if he is not having accidents or getting himself into any danger while we are not home. We've never had an issue with him and we ensure the house is always puppy proof. |
