Tiger is in a crate for 7 hours long (in the laundry room) as soon as I leave at 7:15am . . . . and has had no problems. When I put him in there he does not whine or bark. I go home during my lunch hour to relieve him and feed him and play a little bit . . . and them crate him again but not for long (only about less than 2 hours). He does bark a lot though as soon as he hears the garage door roll up as he knows it is me coming home to him. At night when he is restless in my bed (which isn't often), I take him to his crate (which I move to the bedroom) and again won't whine or bark at all. He's cool at whatever arrangements we make for him, but I think only as long as he is in the same room as us. He's such a great doggie and I love him dearly! |
