Can you confirm just how long the dog walker is actually walking your dogs? Do you have access to a tread mill for walking them? I don't know but I wonder if they could actually be walking for a couple of hours a day. As some of the others have pointed out, it just sounds like too much crate time. Unless your timing is off and are actually encouraging and rewarding the scratching and barking. Poor thing, I know how frustrating it is. Hope you get it figured out soon |
