This brings back all of those bad memories! I think during that time I swore that I would never have another new puppy.
I know that some people have good success with the crate, but it did not work for us. I finally just boxed her in an area in the kitchen. I put her bed in there and gradually started making it bigger. I was really glad my husband was away during that time.
Katy is almost 9 months old and still only has access to the living room, study, kitchen and dining room.
Now the crate is in the living room with the door open. Sometimes she will just go sit in there. As long as we do not zip it up she is ok. We also use it for long drives.
Good luck! |
