Yes I only leave her in the crate for 4 hours at a time...I would never leave her all day. I come home everyday on lunch and let her out and play with her before she goes back in. The webcam idea is a great idea! I really want to know if she is barking and peeing because she's anxious or if she's just peeing right before I get home. We are going to try a few more things but I've already explained to my daughter that lilly may be happier somewhere else. It's difficult for her but I am trying to make her understand that we may have to put Lilly's best interests ahead of our want to keep her in our family. It's just strange that she went from being crate trained to not being trained at all
