How do i retrain a dog that has been used to his bed in his cage?
We have a 1 year old dog which we got from the dogs home the vet advised us to train him with a cage which we did and works great he very rarely does his business in his cage and sees it as his bed and will go in on his own when he is tired.We only lock it when we go out and then leave it open all of the rest of the time. Our problem is now that the cage is big and bulky and would like to get rid of it for space reasons and we have tried to go out and leave him out of the cage but he goes wild, the neighbours said he howls the place down and when we come home hes panting because he has been running from window to window and getting generally stressed. How do we get him to use a normal bed during the day and be calm so we can get rid of his cage for space reasons.
Before you leave the house feed him and then take him on a 45 min walk to tire him out and so he can do his business! He will be so tired and satisfied he won't care that your gone and will most likely sleep the whole time! Make sure he has some way to go potty either a doggy door or newspaper! Good Luck!
