[QUOTE="Steely, post: 407208, member: 3301"] You guys are great - Mama5 (is that right?) I also have a Coyote mix and a Husky mix that now live with my son. They are a joy, just wonderful, except the husky mix does not like other dogs. We are working with him on that. The coyote mix is amazing - such an enigma. It took us forever to realize that he was part coyote, but that explained all of his strange behavior quirks. Any day the coyote mix can out run the Husky mix which I think is interesting. As far the crate training stories - my sister Heidi had a pit bull of her own Petey, and her friend had one named Thor. Well, Thor had such separation anxiety that he would chew the window sills off, the door jams off, eat the tile, etc. Finally one day he literally put his head through a window trying to get his owner back. He escaped and was missing for a couple of days. So long story short, Heidi finally adopted Thor. Petey was crate trained and Heidi was not about to leave 2 pits in the house alone while she was at work so she got a crate for Thor. She came home, not once, but many times, to Thor having hurled his crate throughout the house, and most of the time his crate ended up lodged in a corner, on its side, and Thor upside down. I don't remember all the details, but finally Heidi kept Petey crated, and let Thor lie next to Petey on a blanket. It truly solved all of Thor's separation issues, although it made Heidi nervous not to have them both crated. Today Tesla and I have gone on one long walk, a car ride, and then sat in the sand dunes while she dug holes. That seems to be her fav - just jumping and digging in the sand. I guess it was all of ours as kids?:) I will probably take her on one more walk, just to keep her calm and for my weight loss plan.:) Again - I love all of your stories - and anything you can add to help with my husky mix accepting Tesla into the pack when we are both at my son's would be great. So far, he is SO not pleased. [/QUOTE]
