Denim is home!!! Hey everyone!! so I picked Denim up on Saturday and he's amazing!! But i'm freakin out!! I am crate training him and he is in the house alone in the crate!! He should be fine right?? He will be there for 8 hours...he has food water a treat and toys and also a training pag in his crate. Also at night I can't sleep because he keeps barking wanting to get out. I should just ignore him so he's used to being in there and he knows thats where he will sleep, right? I need some assistance before I freak out at work!! Thanks guys! Pics posted soon |
I don't know what to tell you. Yes he will be alright but I never used a crate.Our dogs were put in an x pen where they had more room to move around. My little Oliver sleeps in a little pen next to my bed at night. He used to cry and bark and I let him complain, now when I put him in the pen at night he goes right to sleep. Oliver is a Shih tzu we got him at 6 weeks old (long story). We also have a yorkie and a Shorkie and two Basset Hounds which are crated at night because they get into too much trouble if left loose. In my personal opinion, and I might be wrong but I think 8 hours a day is a little too long a time to keep your dog in a crate and then go away and leave him alone. Safety wise I'm sure he'll be okay but he may not be a very happy puppy. |
2 Attachment(s) Awwww... Congrats!! Denim is sooooooo CUTE!!!!!!! How old is he? .... My vet had told me that their bladders are not fully formed until they are about 16-weeks old..... I took the first few days off work when I picked my Riley up. Then I would only leave him for about 4-hours at a time.... I bought an XPen from Petedge.com and had his play area on one side of it and a weewee pad on the other. It is right beside my bed. I bought a Snuggle Puppy for him to sleep with at night. He will be 1-year old, next month and he Still carries his snuggle puppy "Buddy" around with him from room to room. :D |
OMG I love his name. Good Choice! Your pup is a cutie! =) |
I completely understand where you are coming from. So what I'm going to do is get a pen today after we go to our 1st vet appointment and put it in the kitchen where he can be during the day when I'm not home and then I will crate him at night. Does that sound a little better?? |
Thanks so much!! |
