So my 5 mo is still not well crate trained, granted we did not focus on it in the early weeks as much as we should have, because Someone is home basically all the time with eyes on him. He sleeps with us as well.
Regardless, we have been trying consistently for the last several weeks to crate train when we do have to leave him alone, putting a Kong or long term chew and toys in there. We only leave 10-20mins at most right now.
The Kong is the only thing that keeps him quiet for the most part, we do not return to let him out of the crate until he stops crying so he does not think crying will get him let out.
Anyways... he’s had stomach issues causing consistently loose stool and for a day blood in his stool, we’ve ruled out everything down to him probably having a really sensitive stomach so the vet said no treats other than kibble, and to stop putting yogurt in his food. Well the kibble yogurt mix is what I always put in his Kong so now I don’t know what to do to soothe him and distract him in his crate😞 he doesn’t care about toys while in his crate. We have tried covering with a blanket and playing nice music, he still wails when I leave pretty much the whole time (I have a pet cam to keep track of him)
Any one have any idea what I can do for this ? 😭
