[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 461092, member: 11791"] Well, I must say you are braver than I am. This is a... newly adopted dog? (you didn't say how old, that might be an additional factor). This dog is stressed out trying to figure out life. The owners have not had the dog around enough to know its routines or to establish some. NOT an easy dog-sit situation. Ever. And... on top of that, the dog is not crate-trained. THAT would have been my first red flag. If the dog is properly crate trained, then they LOVE their crate. That is their very own little room (den). When they are stressed or whatever else... that is where they go hide. And once they see the crate this way, they do not mess up the crate - unless they are very sick. This would have made things MUCH easier. But... how to get through the next X days? And how to undo the "damages"? There's gotta be answers out there - just that I haven't had to go there (cross my fingers and toes!) I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
