I have her little carrier she came with in the bathroom with her with a blanket inside and she only will go in it quietly if I'm mad at her and trying to get her to use the pad when I know she has to go but she won't because I caught her getting ready to start on my floor. I don't have to worry about small toys on the floor at night as my special needs guy we cannot have that stuff in our home so that makes it easy. I also put up her water about 7 or 8. She doesn't have much kibble left from her free feed during the day. |
Oh dear, my little Bella is walking back and forth in front of the computer carrying a sign that says, "Free Darla!" LOL
but seriously, maybe someone with more crating and animal behavior experience can chime in with suggestions on how to get Darla used to being crated. There must be a way, and you must show Darla who is the boss.
