So back in February I started a thread for advice on transitioning Joey out of the crate to run of the house. I followed each poster's advice and came up with a routine. Joey NEVER just went to her crate to sleep BUT she never threw a fit going in either. I dismantled the crate and put it in storage about 3 weeks ago.
Joey will be 11 months old tomorrow. I had a business meeting today that lasted about 3.5 hours. I decided give her a shot at the longest ever she'd be left alone.....free. SHE DID GREAT!! I checked in on her a few times (wifi cameras) and she was either "posted up" on her chair waiting for me or sleeping.
This of course is certainly not meant to say crates are bad, because they're GREAT! Joey was outgrowing hers and we needed to begin the transition.
SO THANK YOU to the following people who participated in that thread with PRICELESS advice. We could not have done it without you.
