I'm about to be the parent of a 5-month old doodle who will come to me with his own crate. I understand he's "doing very well" with the crate training but at what point can you leave them out of the crate? How do I ease him out of it? Obviously, I don't want my little guy living his life in a crate while I'm at work! Your advice is much appreciated.

He was fully housebroken in 3 weeks...had one "accident" when we took him to our mountain house that I believe was altitude related (notoriously known to affect GI tracts of dogs and humans) and that was it. They are a smart breed and will learn quickly. > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Emily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 7:57:08 AM > Subject: [labradoodles] Hi everyone, I'm new > > > My name is Emily and my husband is Tim.
