Re: Hello from Duke & I [quote author=charlie link=topic=3644.msg41110#msg41110 date=1386959864] May I suggest you quit the other forum as this one is so friendly We look forward to hearing all about Duke. [/quote] Hear, Hear! Just don't tell all your friends as I am having trouble keeping up with all the new people as it is ;D ;D I'm not sure that the type of person who is precious about only having breed standard pooches are the type that I particularly bond with. Suggests to me the "trophy dog type". I don't want to offend anyone, but most people I know feel their dog is just as precious as a child, and lets face it, us humans are far from perfect, and our breed standard is ridiculously varied!!!
Re: Hello from Duke & I [quote author=Oberon link=topic=3644.msg41141#msg41141 date=1386965128] Good to hear that you are getting some sleep! So, how is the crating going? Does he cry and make a noise when you crate him while cleaning up? Do you give him something in his crate (like a Kong with treats in it) to keep him busy and make him think the crate is a good place? Another trick is to feed all meals in the crate. You want your pup to think that everything good happens in the crate. When you buy a new toy, put it in the crate. Leave surprise treats in the crate for him to find. That kind of thing [/quote] Oberon, The crate is in the kitchen while cleaning, and i have tried the stuffed kong thing, new toys, and it doesn't phase him, still howls lol. He is getting better at night like i said, but during the day while im about the house, and he can see me, he is not a happy camper lol I say happy things when he is in, he always gets a treat when he goes in, but I suppose it will just take time! As for everyone else, Yes, the other forum has been quit! You guys are great!! ;D
