The thing that I need suggestions on is that I don't want to keep him there at night as he is there all day long... So, I was thinking of getting another crate ( a larger one), put a bed in there and train him to sleep in a crate again....
Would that be possible for him since he hasn't been in a crate for a long time? |
Yes! Diezel was allowed to sleep in his bed next to mine or on the couch for 3 months. He never got real comfy so he would bark and the side of my bed all night. Now he is back in the crate at night and fine with it. I let him out at night for the same exact reason. I felt so bad having him caged up all day and night. Only at night I keep him in his smaller crate and close the door. He seems to do better when he can't see what is going on around him. He is alot calmer that way.
