Teppi is 5mo. old. She has never really had a problem with being in her crate. She's whined a little when she sees me getting ready to go & knows she's not goiing with me. Everytime I leave her in her crate, just to leave the room, I say "I'll be back". She totally understands this & if whining @ all she stops. She knows when I say this that I'll deffinitely be back to get her because she sees it happen. I think it's like a little reassurance to her. Try something like that. Is where you work in the same room or really near her crate. If so, you need to move something around. Your baby being out of the same room or not so close to you would probably help. Of course when you boyfriend is home & she hears you talking or laughing she wants to be part of your lives. That's because they are so sociable. That's why when we love, cuddle, kiss & snuggle with them they do those things & love it. I hope you find a way to solve your problems. This has probably not been much help. Just my 2 cents worth after reading all the posts here. Good luck! |
