| Re: Babysitting problems
He's never been crated in their home. He's also a BYB puppy. I took him on for these 2 weeks because it fell into school holidays and hubby had a week off as well. Figured we'd be able to manage him even with my disability at the moment. I don't think we'd have the time to crate train him even if I bought a crate now. What do you think?
This morning I had him leashed to me and I was on the phone and he casually started chewing on the lounge. Boy, did we have a sorting out over that one.
As to knowing how he behaved at their home ... we see each other once every couple of weeks and he's always kept out in their laundry during that time. My girl is suffering as well though at the moment ... she's used to being free to hang out with us and is gentle with the kids, ranging from 18 months to nearly 20 years. My bub walks past her with no problem, plays and snuggles with ther when we play with my dog but can not do this whilst he's around. He howls and whines and wants to be let free. I can't do that because he has no manners and no training. So right now my girl gets her free time when hubby takes the boy for walks etc.
If you guys think that a crate for him would work in this short period of time, I'll get it. I just feel really sorry for him the way he is. He doesn't understand what's expected of him and I hate the thought of him going back to his old enviroment.
Thanks for all the replies. Please tell me what you think about getting the crate.  |
