Hello, I have lurked a bit and now have a question that you can hopefully help me with.
I have an 8 month old doberman puppy bitch. She is absolutely fab in most ways, she has always been in a crate but now due to space etc she only has a crate upstairs for over night. She used to be fed in her crate but then I took it out and put it in a corner for her - Wasnt a problem at first but now she has taken to removing bits of food and hiding them round the house and garden! I can only think it is because she no longer feels her food is safe with no crate? (she has never been a pig and never eaten a meal in one go so crate was always open for her to come and go) .. very strange behaviour though, are there any solutions apart from bringing another crate in ?
