She woke up at 3:00 in the morning and that was the beginning of the whining an barking. The next night I decided to put her in bed with me and that's where she's been ever since. It works for us even though others have criticized me for giving in to her. She's my companion and it works for us. Please don't judge how others respond to these delightful little creatures. |
Potty training is very different. While I do feel strongly about dogs being crate trained for many reasons like them needing to be use to it because a crate could be used at the groomer, the vets and in emergencies. I have seen poor stressed out pups at the vet not used to being in a crate and freaking out. Potty training though is a necessity and diapers are just not species appropriate and don’t fix something that could be fixed. If your not willing to at least potty train a dog then why get one? What happens if something happens to you and a friend or family member needs to care for your dogs but no one takes them because they aren’t potty trained. It’s just not feasible to not potty train.
