[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 531458, member: 84"] Makes sense. It's a lot of what I try to do. And I've used the banging metal thing.........many many times when Precious was here and she and Molly got into it. It was the only thing that worked to get Precious' attention. I'll have to remember to keep 2 metal items set out for banging inside. I have them outside. (metal screws in an old coffee can work great by the way LOUD) You seem to do with crates sort of like what I do. Sadie doesn't go in without a treat, although it takes more prompting from me than just the treat at this point. I'm so glad Sadie has taken to the crate better this time because it means I don't have to close the living room door which lets Molly go in there with her. I think that makes her feel better too, even though Molly no longer uses a crate. I'm hoping her Honeymoon phase lasts long enough that when I do need to use the crate for Time Out.....it won't affect using it for sleep. It's sort of funny........but on the very rare occasion when Rowdy and Molly would have a spat, instigated by Rowdy of course, I'd use his kennel as Time Out. He'd get a half hour and a stern talking to. Then I could let him out and all would be fine again. lol They've not had a spat in literally YEARS though. She's doing fine with pottying.
