Can you leave your dog loose in the house? Jackson has been left totally free roam in the house since about 5 1/2 months old.
He always proved to be trustworthy. If anything, he's worse when I'm home with finding things to pick up and chew when he's bored, etc, but when he's alone (or if I'm not home and others are) he just sits in the window sill.
We did the crate thing very briefly as a pup (3 weeks maybe) and then graduated to an ex-pen but it didn't really last long. Our family has generally just been a 'dogs are loose' kind of family so it's what I know. |
