HI Cat,   We have a 7-month old doodle who we still leave in the crate when we're not home.  She sleeps next to our bed at night, but still manages to destroy things if left alone for too long! We're sticking with the crate until she stops chewing up papers and toys!   Cheers, Shannon From: cat_clay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 8:48 PM To: labradoodles@yahoogroups.com Subject: [labradoodles] Re: Hi everyone, I'm new 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. --- In labradoodles@yahoogroups.com, Jonathan Schechter <jpschechter@...> wrote: > > Crate training is definitely the way to go...we found that by being extra diligent during the day...taking our 9 week-old (when we got him) doodle out about every 2 hours during the day and praising him along with a treat, worked very well. 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: labradoodles@yahoogroups.com > 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.
