I took him to "intermediate" obedience training- he already knew everything they were teaching.
The crate part is the only issue... He's perfect with everything else.
(He even finds my keys in the morning haha)
I think I'm going to start leaving him with a neighbor (hopefully she is good with him- as I said before, I am REALLY reticent to do that).
He's always really well behaved when I leave him with my parents or my boyfriend... I'm telling you- he just hates that crate. Doesn't matter if I lay down next to him and stuff it full of treats... He cries when I'm there if I try putting him in there with the door closed... If the door is open he'll leave immediately, and when I leave he pees in it!
I think maybe I should try leaving him in the house alone and slowly start building up the amount of time (10 mins, then 20, then 40, then an hour, etc etc).
As I said, I've always trained all my dogs... I've NEVER had this issue with any of them.
