| Need puppy area advice... So, I need some advice about the set-up of my new puppies designated area... We want to crate train him. He slept in the crate last night, and did very well until he was up and ready to go at 5am. Our plan was to have him sleep in the crate at night. Since I work during the day, and cant keep him cooped up in the crate for 8 hours we have the X-pen around the crate. We are planning on keeping the crate door open, with his wee-wee pad, his water bowl and his toys to keep him occupied during the day. How does this sound? Now my question is.. Is it necessary to lock him in the crate at all since he technically has the whole x-pen to himself anyway? Should I just continue to lock him in at night? When he falls asleep outside of his crate I have been moving him into his crate because I would like him to get used to sleeping in there. I'm new at this so I am open to ALL suggestions and advise. Please let me know if I am on the right track, or doing anything wrong... Here is a picture of his current set up.... <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/nokturnal102/HPIM1013.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> Thanks! |
