Glad I came across this thread it is very interesting. Our baby Kinder is nine months old and she goes where we go. Usually my mom will watch her for my husband and I if we have to go somewhere for a day. If we can't get my mom we put her in her bigger crate with the food and water dish bolted to the door.She has a nice blanket for her to lie on and a new bully stick to chew on. The longest she was in there was five hours but she did fine and did not go potty. We let her out and she is pee pad trained so off she went to go potty. We want to let her roam the house or at least start with the kitchen. She likes to get into trouble trying to pull those plastic things out of the electrical sockets and chew on wires also.She also likes to pull the fuzz off the carpet and we can't let her eat that. Our vet recommended to crate her if we have to leave her alone.He had just showed us a puppy that chewed through an electical cord a couple weeks ago. The poor little pup still had neurological problems with her head. We are hoping our little mischief will grow out of this soon ;she is an angel for everything else. As I said before she is with us always I even put her in a dog purse and sneak her in the clinic with me. Sometimes you can't take them so at least I feel safe she is in her crate. Thanks for posting this and hopefully soon I can let my baby run free in the house when we can't take her. |
