Hi Loiis's mom!
I am Bubba's mom - he is very attached to me too- try putting his crate in your bedroom at night - and give him a treat to go in the crate if you have to I use a minniture carrot for Bubba he sees the carrot and he knows it is crate time and goes running for the crate! put him in your room where he can see you and hear yu - at night Bubba goes to bed at night about 11:00 with me and sleeps until 9:00 in the morning - ( I don't work ) today for some weird reason he slept til 10am and so did I sat. rainy day man it was great !
try a sound machine too where his crate is Bubba likes the ocean sound because it sounds kind of like the heart I think - also talk to him let him know whereyou are when you are out of the room - so he does'nt feel left out radios are good Bubba really likes classical music and Michael Bolton ( Vintage ) I spoiled him Ha Ha !!!!! hope some of this helps !!! bas1 and Bubba
