  1. My puppy cries nonstop while in his playpen or crate when I'm working

    First Time Dog Owner and Basic Questions
    I work at home, and I try to give my 5 month old playtimes during the day, but there are just times I need her to be in her playpen or crate so I can get some work done. If she's in my office with me, she cries and yelps nonstop. Is this just a matter of getting her used to it? Any ideas on how...

  6. Play Pens?

    Dog Training Forum
    Good morning everyone! I just wanted an opinion on using a "play pen" inside with a puppy. My puppy can get extremely hard to control (particularly at night when he's getting tired :der:), and I was considering getting an octogonal play pen to contain him during his "run around and play" time...

    Dog Training Forum
    Hi. First post here. Got myself a 7 month old Maltese/Yorkie mix (morkie). Behaved and obedient for the most part. We take our walks and run around. He chases me. Got the basic commands down pretty well (sit, stay, down, give, leave-it, heel) on and off leash. Recently he's been escaping...
