When do you let them free range in the house?
My girl is 18 months old now and her puppyhood was brutal. So. Many. Thing. Destroyed.
I watch her closely and she stays primarily in the kitchen family room area. She hates the crate, so I’m tempted to let her free range in the house at night.
But I’m worried basenji boredom might hit her and she might destroy something or get hurt.
So, my question above. And, if you do let them free range, how did you know they were ready?
EDIT: Thanks for the insights and great stories! I read every one and appreciated the time you took. I think I’ll keeps her with me in the bedroom and then crated when I leave during the day. She’s a good girl but I want her to succeed.
