So I am crate training Watson and he is having difficulty adjusting.

He does well when I put him in and he knows we are in another room for a short time…there is some whining but nothing else.

If we leave the house though even only for an hour he gets so anxious there is always a big mess when we get home and he needs a bath.

What can I do to make this easier for him?

@sandy-hovis said in When your Basenji plants its feet:

@hamtaro you better “nip that in the bud”, the biting gets worse if you do not stand firm. Biting is not acceptable...trust me....it might be up setting now, but an older dog is worse. Get you training in now to prevent problems later.

Wouldn’t my dog already be older at 6 years? Or do you mean when he reaches 9-10 years?

Patty nailed it… when you have an issue, you have to go back as if a puppy and start anew, which means you leash her to you at all times, say NO if she starts to go, take her out, praise and treat. The good news is unlike a puppy, it will go faster. But making really sure the room has been cleaned of odors using some enzymatic sprays/cleaners is a must.

tanza: "How old is she?"
she's almost 3 months.
Maybe I am just being impatient, but I thought she'd at least sniff the bell…or, if anything, try to eat the bell. lol

I will keep trying. Maybe I will get some chimes or a hanging bell. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.

Thanks for all the input!!

@Benkura:

I sometimes use Rescue Remedie on one of my dogs before I go in the ring as he is a bit excitable. It does work but you need to make sure you don't over do it as it can give them an upset tummy. YUK!!

Rescue Remedy – at least the one sold here in the US -- has alcohol, so if you must use it, please do so with caution and sparingly. DO read the ingredients.
