We got her from the shelter so she's used to being in a crate...no crate anxiety. She's a little over 2mo. (10 weeks they think)
I still have a few questions.
1) We feed her in the crate. She wants to stand half in and half out of the crate to eat. I've been picking up her back half and setting her in while saying "place" (the command we want to use to get her to go to the crate)
2) Today she stopped wanting to go in. I want her to get used to napping in it. She whines for a bit when I put her in (5-10mins) but settles down and sleeps. We have her in there at night too...is that okay?
3) She doesn't wake us up to take her to potty at night until she's peed a couple of times in the crate. Should we be setting alarms and making her or will she get it?
4) How long until the play biting is done? She nipped my toddler today because he got down on her level and she was in extreme play mode.
5) Should I be shutting the door on the crate when she's in it?
