| Follow up
Here's a follow up on everything so far...please let me know how I'm doing. I bought a large wire crate and put her blanket in there for her to sleep on. I put the crate in my bedroom. Last night I put her in it and she whined and whined for what seemed like hours. I eventually went out and slept on the couch so I could get some sleep. She finally settled down around 2 am. I took her out to pee at 4:30 and then put her back in...this time I think there was less whining and I think she went right to sleep. I took her out and fed her this morning...walked her around a bit and then put her back in the crate when I went to church. She's now sleeping on the couch next to me.
A few questions:
1) How long should I crate her before I start letting her stay in the backyard while I am at work? A few months or just until there are no more accidents in the house?
2) How do you guys deal with training your rott when it's raining to pee outside? It's raining pretty hard today and she's not liking to pee outside. In fact, she just went #2 on my floor.
3) Should I crate her during the day when I am home or just when I am gone and at nighttime?
Thanks,
Peter  |
