I was going to post this last night but it got too late. Anywho, as most of you know Gizmo is from a BYB and some of his training has been a little bit of a challenge because of that. Granted, in my opinion, I think he's done awesome but there's always a few mistakes here or there!!
Anyway, I hate putting him in his crate because that's usually where the mistakes happen. And I have tried everything, limiting the space, not letting him have water before hand, putting his favorite toys in there.
Well my husband, God bless him, completely removed any of the restrictions in the crate, I put in there his antler, because his teeth can't break that apart, and then I got the idea to put his Pooh blanket that he sleeps on in our bedroom that he loves in his crate too.
Not expecting much, we came back after about two hours and everything was clean, dry, and mess free! I couldn't believe it!
Thinking it was just a fluke we tried it again last night and left for a little bit of a longer period. About 3 1/2 hours. And once again! I was such a proud Momma and someone got a ton of treats!
I know it's typical training and what not, but I'm just so proud especially since the training odds were stacked against him with there he came from.
So proud!
