 Crate issues
Is his crate in your bedroom or out in some other part of the house? Has he outgrown his crate and needs a larger one or does he need different bedding? Our experiences have varied between dogs. Our mini-dachshund had her crate in her pen so during the day if we were gone she would be in her pen with the crate door open and she always went in and at bedtime we closed the door. She was fine with that. Our yorkie loves to be in our room in her crate but she is afraid of the dark (we discovered) so there is a night light. She has a day time pen for if we're gone with her food and water (door stays open when we are home), a bed and a chew. We have had to replace the bed/pad in her crate a couple of times because it wears down. |
