Okay I have read 3 basset books so far, and they really all say the same thing, they cover different topics and what not but most of them say crate training yet hard is VERY effective.
How do I explain this to my STUBBORN girlfriend. She is an animal lover, and thinks its really inhumane to leave a pup in a crate all the time. I have talked to my friend that owns a basset, and the couple works full time (both of them) and when they first got there pup, they would leave it in its crate all day long until they got home from work. They said it was hard to do, but they got her potty trained in about 2-3 weeks. Which I think is amazing
Is this something you recommend? Im not sure if Im going to have the nerve to keep him locked in a crate all day while im at work, and my girlfriend thinks he shouldnt be in a crate at all.
Anyone?
:mellow: :huh:
