I take him for a walk before breakfast (only about 15 mins because it's really cold outside and he's freezing) and then I take him on another longer walk prior to lunch time (so around 40 minutes). I've taken him running at the park (by running I mean he sprints and stops ...lol) and then whenever he goes to the bathroom I take him out of his crate and play indoors with him for about 30 mins. What do you think? Is he still bored or is he just being a baby not wanting to be in his crate? |
Hard to say! But he's a puppy and they have soooooooooooooo much energy that they can play until they drop and sleep again. It sounds likes he's getting plenty of exercise. Just bundle him up good and he'll toughen up!
I put a 4-legged jogger with a coat on top and she doesn't get cold in mid-twenties.
He's probably just wanting to be with you and not in the crate. Kacee has cried since I've had her, if she wanted something. My other yorkie would start out with tiny barks and work her way up in volume. They all do different things to get what they want, but they are so much alike in every other way it isn't even funny! You're doing fine and he'll be fine, too.
Also, I would get some special tiny treats just for training or use cheerios.
