 Cries in the kitchen, but not in crate?
Hello YTers, over the last few days I have been trying to get Lola into the habit of being in the kitchen during the day when we are at work so that she has more room to play, eat, relieve herself and walk around. Before this we were having her in the crate and she was fine. No crying, no whining, just was happy and content there.
I wanted to give her more roaming room so i got a new gate *the previous one just was not cut out for puppies, was a home depot gate that just did not seem stable* so i got her one from Petco that is a walk over, wooden gate with doggie door.
This morning, after waking up and atking her oustide to go to the bathroom, I put her in the ktichen with her new gate and went to get an hour more of sleep. She whined, cried, scratched at the gate. It was heartbreaking. When i put her in her crate in the living room, she was fine. went to sleep, not one peep.
So I am confused as to where to keep her now. Does she prefer the crate. why is she crying in teh kithen when she has more toys, food, room, place to relieve, etc. ?
Should we just let her cry it out and get used to the kitchen? she has her bed in there too so she has a comfy place to sleep as well. |
