Any tips on teaching settling outside of crate?
Hi Everyone!
Meet Honey 🍯 the sweetest 5 month old golden who we got at 4 months so we’ve had her for a month now. She is totally awesome and incredibly intelligent motivated by food of course. The only problem I am having is she rarely sleeps outside of the crate as she can never seem to settle down and follows us around everywhere unless I tell her place but she is still attentive. I have been teaching her “relax” and can get her to do about 10 minutes of laying down head down which I think will eventually lead to sleep.
I would much rather have her out and nap during the day as I work from home but if I don’t enforce her naps she will stay up and get nippy.
Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! I spend a ton of time training her so I am willing to try anything to give her more freedom around the house. She also is teething so there’s that to keep in mind.
