This appears to me to be a very thorough article on House Training that would answer many different concerns that quite a few members have asked about recently. One question it answers is Why does my dog come back in the house and immediately poop/pee in the house. And there are several answers to other often asked questions! The only thing I personally don't like is the mention of how long a dog is crated--4 hrs at a time is like 'prison time' to me. I have never crated (caged) my dogs. To me the only time to crate a dog (when the gate/door is shut) is when you have to run errands for a couple of hrs. or possibly at bedtime. And at other times when the door to crate is left open because the dog treats it like a welcome den/retreat and can CHOOSE when it wants to go in and out! Too many people who work, etc. put their dog in this cage/prison for all day---I feel so sad and sorry for those poor dogs/prisoners--What a life!!!
