Re: Best Friends Club

You know what though she got so triggered by the crate it took 4 hours for her to come near me the following night and so I had to lock her outside where she just barked and went crazy so I caved and let her back in she started digging at the rugs and the couch like zoomies x 1000 @tyme it was unbelievable she hates the crate

Re: Best Friends Club

I don’t think locking dogs in a cage is fair

Re: Best Friends Club

I called a trainer in and said she’s petrified of the crate but my Mrs has been crying all day over this dog and she asked for $145 up front then came and did 5 mins of crate training and an hour of just talking and basically said you can always just tie her up outside if you want @tyme so then I took maters into my own hands and now she hates me and the crate

Re: Best Friends Club

I think mum had a different form of training @tyme

they were best buds but uh I think mum sadly could of been heavy handed so Nick had no choice but to listen

like she would walk along with mum down the street and stuff but how does someone with no dog knowledge train a dog to do that…..
I hope nothing evil
I hope they just bonded and Nicki loved mum so much that she just listened but we both know that’s probably unlikely which is sad
So Nicki has never been crate trained, always slept inside on her bed no issues until lately

I hope she wasnt feeling lonely @tyme we did kick her off the bed but like not permanently also we are both adults im not getting freaky with a 30kg dog on the bed sorry 🤣🤣🤣

Awww @ArraDreaming .

I'm so sorry. It may be hard at first, but I feel she will get used to it.

Just hang in there.
