Whippet sleep habits
Hello! My partner and I have a 10 month old whippet and he has seriously regressed when it comes to sleeping in his crate. He’s been sleeping in his crate ever since we got home at 12 weeks old. We trained him and he was doing very well up until the 8 month old mark. It is my understanding that whippets enter a phase around this age. However, for the last two months he has been waking up hours before usual and whining endlessly, lol. He has ruined two crates, three beds and we can no longer keep a cover on his crate because he destroyed his last one. We have toys in there for him however he never turns to those when he wants to bite or destroy something. We take him out to go to the bathroom sometimes and then put him back in to support our original sleep schedule, but he still goes bonkers. We reward him anytime he interacts or goes into the kennel as well. We just don’t know what to do after two months of trying to let home whine it out, hoping he’d learn.
