Diesel has been with us for a month now and we have tried everything under the sun to create train him and none of it is working. He will gladly go in but the second you close that door he flips. There's been no progress at all. It has been the same thing everyday for a month so I have very little hope of him being crate trained however my boyfriend needs to be able to go back to working during the day and Diesel all needs to realize its ok to be alone. I am going with plan B which is gating the kitchen. Now I am very hesitant about this because all the dogs I have ever owned have been crate trained. My 9 year old lab loves his crate. My husky used to sleep in his crate even if we didn't close the door but for some reason Diesel is persistent in not wanting that door closed. I wanted people's opinions on this. He is not old enough or even close to old enough to have free roam nor do I trust him out in the house without us.
What does every think of gating the kitchen? I live in an apartment so it's bigger then his crate but not huge. There isn't anything for him to get into except chewing the cabinets which is a fear of mine even though he hasn't shown interest in them.
Random but this was suggests to me by our vet and my aunt who is also a vet but i have no experience with it or know if it will even work.
Thanks!
