Thank you all for your words of encouragement. At least now I know I'm not doing anything wrong. The crate has to go. I can't stand to pen her up like that. I've also found (for anyone else that's new to this out there) that since I started to put her in the crate 2 days ago, she misses the pads constantly. She's clever and I'm sure that's not by accident. At least it's comforting to know it's just the breed and they do take a long time to train. It's better than feeling mean and inept. Thanks all! |
