Hello,
Gosh I've been on here a lot recently! But you're all so helpful
I'm going to introduce a puppy play pen for Percy, (9 week lab x collie) because he's getting into some naughty habits and although I work from home and we're in the same room together all day, I can't correct his behaviour constantly, so as another member suggested in a previous post I aim to keep him away from the things that he can cause havoc with e.g. skirting boards, my feet, cushions etc. with the play pen.
It's quite big 196 x 96 cm and 96cm tall (it's going to take over my kitchen!!) and was pretty expensive, however I feel that it'll be worth it to get him out of the habit of these little naughty behaviours. Then when he is out if the play pen, I can give him my undivided attention and avoid any 'upsets'.
So here's the question ... I don't want him to associate this with any negative things, how can I introduce it to a very energetic puppy who belts around the kitchen like a whippet? I've thought to feed him in it, give him a Kong in it, put him in it when he's asleep so he wakes up there. Any thoughts?
What should I do if he howls and whines? I won't keep him in there for long, just short stints.
Thanks
Kate
