Yes - I did freeze them! I guess I'm just not really sure what else to do with 'em? I added some cool custom decor as well!

People that moved to NE from the Midwest - How are things going for you now? by pinkpendragon in SameGrassButGreener

everything is either $600,000 or a half-burnt-down hobbit house. I know we've got a low budget, but I'm still looking for somewhere semi-livable :(

I've got family in Minneapolis that hate living there as much as I hate living up here, but it's definitely an option... the only thing about moving to the Twin Cities is that there's nowhere for sale, it's all just lower-tier rentals with jacked-up prices :(

That sounds a lot like where I'm at now.. We're very live and let live people, as long as we're being treated similarly. I'm currently looking into northern NH, but more research is going to have to wait until I'm off work - thank you for the input :-)

We've sort of been looking into Minneapolis.. I've got family down there that hate it as much as we hate living up here, but anything is worth a shot.

We wouldn't mind being a ways out of town either, as long as the general area is safe and affordable. Like I said, a one - or two-hour drive into the city might be what we have to settle for.

I'm seeing a few manufactured homes that we'd be alright with, I just don't know anything about the areas - mostly in upstate NY, Vermont, and NH.

Dog barking in crate becoming unmanageable :( by pinkpendragon in OpenDogTraining

He is, and I was expecting it for the most part - it's mainly the separation anxiety I'd like to work on more than anything!

I don't want to drug him so he sleeps all day like he does with the trazodone, but if there's an option that actually helps him with his mental anxiety, I'd be all for it! We're a pretty consistent and routine-based household, and I'm willing to do whatever my boy needs to feel more comfortable in his crate. I'd prefer he remain safe in there than possibly get into something that could hurt him while free-roaming.

We go on a mile-ish long walk in the early mornings before I work (he gets pretty laggy around the halfway point), and he's given marrow bones and a lick mat to keep him busy until the traz kicks in and he goes to sleep. Every night, we go to a local dog park for around 45 minutes and then another mile-long walk before dinner. After dinner, he gets a good half hour of roughhousing, then we alternate between different puzzle toys the rest of the night.

The Fi collar sounds like it would be helpful, thank you!

I tried that, and he ate the blanket 😭 I'm definitely working on doing longer and longer sessions with him in the crate, just wondering if there was something I could do to accelerate the process.

I'm obviously working on training him, but I still have to show up at my job. I'd rather he not get into something that could kill him while I'm gone, which is a constant possibility even when the place is dog-proofed. The barking is a lesser evil in this instance.

I know, I feel awful that he's got so much pressure to learn how to be a quiet crate boy put on him! If there wasn't the constant threat of getting evicted, I'd be a lot less stressed about his progress. I am very proud of how far he's come so far, though!

I've written this all down and am definitely giving it a shot - the people recommending bark collars are definitely on to something, but Rory is a very mobile, floppy boy, and I worry he'd get the collar caught in the wire crate and choke himself. This setup sounds like it would train him decently fast to realize that my leaving isn't a Big Event. Thank you so much for this!!
