One thing that will work is to buy an expen and a wood paneling to put the expen on if you have carpet. Attach the expen to the front (each side of the door) and make sure the door can't close. Drape a blanket over the wire crate, making it den like. Put a pad in the crate with a little blanket. Attach a pet water bottle to the side of the expen. Put a couple of very safe toys, like hard rubber that don't have any bells or squeekers, a small beef femur bone, boil a couple minutes and remove the marrow,(they can't splinter those) and a washable pee pad. You could put a few kibble in a puppy Kong to keep him busy and something to eat while your gone. Turn the TV on really low and on cartoons, like Sponge Bob. If you want to take it a step further, you can buy scented plug ins that calm pets. |
