I didn't crate train him, when he was tiny, I tried but after he went in his crate and went back to sleep in it
,I stopped (he was just one of those dogs that 'didn't mind'...). He has his toys in the basket in the kitchen (where he sleeps at night), along with flossies, bully sticks and rawhide bones. He KNOWS we don't like him jumping around the bed and whining in the morning, hubby just looks at him and he backs up right to the kitchen where he sits down and whines. Why doesn't he listen to me
. When he's been told to go to his place (when we're busy cooking ie), he tries to run to me and hide between my legs or behind me, like the rules don't apply with Mommy!! I think I need to establish myself more of a leader?
