My guys have a job. And that's making sure that I'm aware of any intrusion onto the property. I count heavily on their alertness, hearing, eyes, noses and voices, to keep me "safer". I never scold them for barking, they know that as long as there is something out there, they bark like crazy, until I gently shush them, and still give um a little pet for their effort, even if they barked at the wrong thing. It's high praise when they're right. :thumbup: I sleep a LOT better, knowing my two little buddies have my back. ;) My two are completely Potty Trained, but IF there was an occasional accident (potty) I not entirely sure that I wouldn't just let it slide, and attempt to make that minor correction, without interfering with their routine. |

A good walk or play time before leaving is always good.. usually just sleeps after. Then again - I am only in a 2 bedroom apartment - not a large house. He has access to the entire place. |
Mine get crated....but realize their crate area is like 14sf. For several reasons, safety, people come and go from our yard and house and I want to ensure mine don't get let outside or loose, Princess eats random stuff, Scoobers has separation anxiety, Elvis has epilepsy all are safer in a secure danger proof area. They do best all together now, I tried putting them in a room but this stressed them more than just being in the den area. Also we have earthquakes here their crate which is 3 crates attached is safest. They're rarely ever left more than 4 hours so usually they just nap anyways. |

At home alone training is really based on making your home safe, giving them toys abd starting with a small area and expanding. I always started in the most safe room whereever that may be and then allow for another room or if you have large open areas try sectioning it off abd opening it up. Also do you kennel at bed time? I do so kenneling during the day for mine is just nap time. Major inhibitors (these are what I have dealt with personally) Ie if your dog chews for example cords when you are home you should not leave them unattended with acess. Or any other random plastic, wood, ... Princess also has bladder leakage since her spay only while she sleeps which is in her crate. If your dog panics when you leave and will climbs and jump off furnite counters to claw at eindows or chew at doors, they should be in a panic safe area. If your dog has seizures that can start with your dog going into a dead bolt run or falling helplessly between furniture unable to establish motor control a padded crate area is more likely safer. |
when we leave, we put morgan in his puppy playpen with some toys and water and he has a bed in there but we dont leave him very often |
