We have a twelve month old whippet who was crated until he was about 6 months. When we took the crate away, believing we were being kind he was brilliant for about 2 months. Then he started crying and weeing at night!!! We tried everything and finally got a new crate - he was delighted when it appeared out of the box and got straight in!! He loves being in it - he sleeps there in the day with the door open and takes himself to bed at night when we shut the door. Anyone who believes that crates are unkind (as I did) are definately wrong. We have now got an 11 week old pup who also sleeps safe and sound in a crate - we will not be getting rid of them again. I hope everything goes well with your new addition and if you begin to struggle I would seriously think about getting a cosy crate for quiet place as his bedroom. Good Luck!

Hi

Thanks for that - although he's settled at the moment we haven't completely ruled out a crate yet.

He had a wee accident last night (pardon the pun!) so we'll see how he goes.

Bought him a coat today - he looks SO cute....... :wub:
