Gidget was going crazy in her carrier when confined (the kind you use to transport from home to vet etc). So I went to PetSmart yesterday and got the open wire crate. I put her in it this morning for her "confinement" time and she went ballistic for 45 minutes--barking, crying, etc. When she finally calmed down, I got her out of crate and took her outside. The TV was on but I wasn't in the room with her. So, this afternoon, I put her in the crate and sat a few feet away from her at the table doing work on the computer. Same reaction--she barked, cried, whined, peed (I had her out for a pee pee just before I crated her) for 40 minutes. So it doesn't seem to matter if I'm in another room or just a few feet away from her. Am I doing this the right way? Desparately need advice from other Yorkie moms, please. |
