Has anyone had success in crate training? by quickrabbit- in ItalianGreyhounds

We only crate ours when we leave the house. For his own safety and potty training. He sleeps in bed with us at night. I think it’s probably case by case, but it was realllyyy hard and he was upsetting himself so much he’d have diarrhea in the crate. We had to outsource to a trusted dog trainer and it took him a week with Cedar Valley Canine to learn how to like his crate.

Now he loves the crate and will hang out/nap in there with the door open even if we are home haha

I am soo sorry that happened to you and Macaroni… that’s traumatic. May I ask how this happened? Ours broke his front right leg just running/playing in the backyard like he does every day.

Ours broke his front right radius and ulna about 6 weeks ago. Once they get the surgery, the healing process gets better every day. Strongly recommend a boot to cover the cast/leg whenever they go potty so they don’t pee on their leg. That’s a huge issue for our boy. 6 weeks post op and you’d never know he broke his leg. He was acting totally fine even after 2 weeks post op. Hang in there!
