I thought my dad was the only one like that. I will have to tell my mom when I get home from work that we are not alone.
When we got lil bear my dad thought crate training was crule unsusal punishment for such a cute tiny puppy. So back to the store went the crate and he said oh I'll watch her. Yeah that didn't happen...now at 7yrs if lil bear poops on pad or anywhere else my mom (now since I have moose) get's informed "poopy alert" with an added beeping provided by him.
When I got moose I laided down the law she was my puppy...she was going to be crate trained and to let her out to pee and stretch mid day and then put her back in her crate no letting her roam freely. Yeah that worked for about a month. Now when I leave in the morning I put moose in her home in my room and my dad comes to the doorway and tells her I'll get you out of your prision after michelle leaves....I have all but given up.
