He wasnt-he's happier in his crate than in the bathroom. Also, I got tired of having to puppy proof the bathroom-he'd go after towels hanging up, the toilet paper, the wastebaskets, plungers, toilet brush, anything in the bathtub, the rug....And when I remembered to secure all that, he started jumping onto the toilet and getting everything on TOP of the counters, and when I remembered to put THAT away, he learned how to open the cabinet doors. Plus, he was always really stressed when we came home.
Atleast in his crate, he's calm and happy when we get back. |
Good, glad he's calm and happy when you get back when he's in his crate, that's obviously the safest place for him to be - unless he can get out (I thought solutions to that problem was the original question?
) I guess all I can suggest therefore is a padlock....just don't let him see where you put the key. Sally + Harry
