It depends. I've never had to crate another breed forever, but my one basenji would get destructive if left alone.. the 2nd one would pee on my bed. So crating it was. However, I'm home so they were rarely crated. My current basenji is fine loose as long as she's alone. So like they said, do it slow, confine to an area that is safe and see how it works out. But if you need to keep crating, most dogs sleep far more than people.. up to 17 hrs a day. Just exercise before and lots after so they aren't bored.
Clicker training

I'm moving this thread to its own …
I found a couple of good books at the library about clicker training and tried to incorporate some of the tips into my training with EL D. However, none of the pet shops or websites that I visit have clickers. Can someone provide a source?

Do you do the command/click/treat in quick sequence or can there be a short time lag between command click? -
new clicker question …
Do you do the command/click/treat in quick sequence or can there be a short time lag between command click?Well, the click should come right after the requested behavior happens. So, if it takes a couple seconds for the behavior to happen, then yes, there can be a short lag time.
It should look like this command/behavior happens/click/treat.
Hope that helps
