We Finally Got It

[Jessika]

Just an update!!

Firstly, DoubleOh seems to like it much better than Jaimers does... lol he regularly goes in it for a snooze and tries going inside every time we put Jaimers in it LOL

She will now go in it on command, "in" and if we point to it. She no longer barks, she will OCCASIONALLY whine, but not for long. If she is in the crate and hears the front door open and close (whether we're still home or not) she will freak and bark, thinking we left her, but she usually stops.

I'm soooo glad she is being good about this and catching on RATHER quickly! We had her in it overnight one night, just to see how she would do, and she whined a little bit... but did NOT bark AT ALL... and slept all night with no problems and without waking us up!

Oh, Jessica, that's great! I am glad she's "getting it" so quickly, and allowing her humans some sanity-saving sleep!

Right now it's in LR. And he sleeps on makeshift doggie bed in our room gated up.
