We used to give Mini a crate. But the problem was - I found broken/pieces poop in the crate every morning. Once I removed the crate, Mini did not poop in her area in the morning anymore. Isn't it strange?? That's why she does not a crate and only has a bed. We use a crate only when we travel with Mini.
I think the problem for Mini is that she usually has human around her and always gets lot of attention ( we have 3 kids ) and she can't stand seperation. How long can I leave a 7-month-old pup alone by herself. How to train her to be more independent??
