 Rescue: Should he NOT be caged?
Curious what you all think about this? My dog is 6 and is a rescue. I've had him for about 3 months now. Up until this point he's been sleeping with me while I found a suitable cage for him.
The past few nights, I've been having him sleep in his cage. I put a nice blanket over it to shut out all the light to help him sleep. He also has a dirty tshirt of mine. For the most part, he goes to be with no issue. Some crying and squirming but after a little while he's quiet and sleeps fine.
My issue is right now. It's daytime, and I have him in here in his cage (I'm in the living room w/ him) He is yapping, panting with his tongue out, and clawing to get out. Is this only because I'm sitting right here? I'm trying to ignore him and not rush to his aid because I know that will be counter productive.
Ok, so now as I'm typing I'm looking at him. His back is to me, but he's shaking as if he's cold. Is caging not for him? |
