My Brandi was the same way when I left her in the crate too. Then I switched to the expen. She still hates it but at least now she usually just sleeps. However she does still try and escape but she is much more relaxed. I think when she knows it gets closer to me coming home from work is the time when she tries to escape. I have a webcam setup on her so I can see what she is doing all day. She flucutates between sleeping and looking for a way out but mostly just sleeps.
One good tip. Depending on what type of expen you get (I have a canvas and mesh expen with a cover and bottom and zippered sides ) only put your little one in through the top. If you have an escaped artist like I do, Brandi pays attention to how I put her in the expen. She will try and escape through the door you put her in. Brandi will try to jump to the top of the expen to escape because she doesn't realize that there are zippered side doors that she can easily escape out of. The minute I put her in the expen through the zippered doors, that is the way she will make her escape. It took me two expens to figured that one out. |
