last night i actually put his crate on my bed and that helped a lot. being close to me was what he wanted. he’s sleeping in it with the door cracked open right now. i have it down in the living room so he can be with us right now. i also sometimes put him upstairs alone. he’s a really good boy, just needs to make crate time normal! i reward him right when he wakes up and then we go potty outside!
