One more thing about crate training, we kept both Darwin and Mabel in our room with us in separate crates. Because Darwin is older and we got him first, I used to dangle my hand in front of his crate so he could tell that he wasn't alone. We had no issues with Mabel being crated. She is still in her own crate, but we put the fronts of the crates butted up to together. Hope this helps! |
Thanks! So you think I should crate her at night and then use the play pen during the day when I'm at school for four hours or so?
