Danielle and yippee, here comes Juliettte.. maybe a Romeo in your future????
We find that crate training is excellent as long as the dog does not feel like she is being punished. Jaz has her crate, and inside the crate is her bed. The crate opens to a small flip out fenced area about 4 foot round. In this area she has water, chew toys, and her potty. She is comfortable there, and has access to everything she need when I am tied up at work.
When I get home, I open the little fenced area, and she comes and goes at will into here "apartment". She feels safe, and freely goes into her crate to sleep, or when the cat comes to pester her. I hope this helps. Creating a safe happy place for Juliette now will result in comfort for both of you later.
The only warning I have is that if you place her in this area, and she cries for you to pick her up, you will have to ignore her for a bit. Otherwise she will learn that you are trained rather than her.
Please let me know what you decide, I learn something from everyone here.
