My puppy did well in the crate as well as soon as he realized that he was not getting out every time he barked or whined. I never kept him in more than 3-4 hours during the day without taking him outside for a walk. He has always slept for at least 8 hours at night so that's all a person can ask for. I never left food in the crate as like I said I took him out every 3-4 hours at first. Now when we are not home he goes into the kitchen with a pee pad just in case he needs it when we are out. He seems to be fine there as he has a bed to sleep in there an nothing he can harm himself on. |
