Reply #20: creating is the only way to go, esp if you must leave you dog alone for any period of time.

Jet was almost 2 when he showed up in my life. i dont know if he was crated before but he took to it right away. i never leave him alone uncreated and and he sleeps most nights there. he gets a treat for going in and the first thing when i get home, even if i've only been gone 20 mins., is we go 'outside' so he relieve himself and to get into the habit.

also, a got a portable folding fabric house to use when i'm visiting. it comes in handy.
