OK, I searched the potty threads, but this seems more like a behavior/potty combo. So:
Male 14 wk old GSD mix. Does well through the night in the crate, one walk at about 4 a.m. (plan to do the whole night starting next week) no whining
More gradual day crate training. Because we both work, we put him in a 6'x4' indoor pen during the day on weekdays. Return home around noon to feed and walk, play if time. Does well in the crate in the evening if we're around. Of course he's out of the crate a lot, too.
Yesterday and today he went on a rampage, twice, in the pen, tearing up the pee pad and just having a good 'ol time -- it's on camera. Never did this before. Gets a lot of exercise in the later afternoon and evening, a little in the morning if time permits.
Time to risk the crate during the day for 3-3.5 hours? Or?
Thanks.
