Have you always crated your dogs at night and when you are not home?
Or if not, at what age did you allow them more freedom when alone?
Poppy is doing well with potty training outside and hasnt had an accident in the house for a few weeks now.
I know this is still too soon and Im not thinking of giving her this freedom right away, Im just wondering at what age?
She is 6.5 months old now and has never pottied in her crate.
We dont really have a small room in the house which she could be locked in while home alone, all the rooms are pretty large so it would be easy for her to hide her 'presents'.
Any suggestions? or do you think its okay to always have her crated when home alone and at night?
