OP our guy is not so bad around the house. He had to have operations that needed crate confinement afterwards so before the first one I started feeding him his meals in kongs and building up the time he was in the crate alone - I couldn't believe it when I had a shower and no barking lol! Another thing that settled him A LOT in the house was going to daycare a few days a week. He was exhausted from it and would spend the next couple of days resting so we were able to get on with things without him wanting to be glued to us.

Ya TK123 will really work on getting him used to being by himself. He gets one meal a day in either his kong or the treatball he has and loves them! I love the idea of doggy daycare but I don't think that anywhere in Sligo town actually does it. I can't find anything about it at all.

Would be great if anyone knew of anywhere that did it in the town. I think he would love it as he loves his walks with other doggie friends.
