The people who aren't able to crate their dogs for long periods are the ones with 3 year old dogs that still go on the carpet. Crate train crate train crate train. I can't stress enough that way of doing things. You will be so happy with the results and you won't ever have to worry about it again in the dog's life. Imagine never ever having to worry about a mistake. That is a great deal of peace of mind. My dog is 13 months but has been fully potty trained at 8 months. I know you don't know me but trust me, not having to worry about that makes a lot of other things with the dog so much easer. |
