My 1yrs doggie does not liked to be left at home alone. Yes I have tried to crate him, but this does not work he gets out. I have tried everything but putting him a crate makes him worse and he panicks. I have got him used to being left but he gets destructive.
I now leave him in the hall way landing and stairs and he is only allowed in one room, our spare room. (had to change all the door handles to stop him getting into the other rooms. All that is in there is a double bed, chest of draws, curtains and a fitted wardrobe. He was opening the wardrobe and pulling every thing out. Blocked this with a pine chest so he can no longer open it. Well he has been fine for months. BUT this week he has pulled the draw out of the chest of draw and destoyed it and yesterday he attacked the matress??? It was a right mess.
I leave him with a kong, a snack a ball, teddys and a bone. He gets lots of excerise too. (twice a day) I go home at lunch time to see him.
I believe you are not to leave a dog muzzled at home with these problems? But why? I have never muzzled him before but would this stop him. Knowing him he would get it off anyway. Just wondered why the reason was. Any help would be great.
