[QUOTE=Elina and Onyx;4472001]Thanks! I already got a harness for Onyx but even though it's an extra-small size, it's still too big for him! Haha.
Now my biggest concern is leaving him in the exercise pen twice a week alone for 4-5 hours.
FYI: I live in a condo and use the dining area to gate Onyx in as his exercise pen. NO table and no chairs inside. He seems to be catching on with puppy pad training. YAYYYYYY.
Crate: We leave his crate in my room at night time to sleep. During the day time I leave his crate in the exercise pen.
My concern: HIM BARKING in the pen when I leave! He seems attached to me. When I hang out with him in the pen (because he seemed really scared of it at first), he stands right by my feet. When I leave, he cries and barks. I ignored it so he would stop crying but I don't know how often I can let him bark for that long since I live in a condo building.
Any suggestions to calm him down while I am gone? I leave ALL his toys, chew toys, food bowl, water bowl, bed, and my shirt (for my scent) in the pen.
thank you!!!![/QUOTE
Lexi is 7 months old and still barks every time I leave, but once I'm gone she is fine. I wondered about this so I set up the video camera i used to have in my son's room and saw that she barked for a few minutes and then layed in her crate to go to sleep. |
