[quote=Anonymous]wait... "experienced dog owner" leaves dog unattended in backyard, post-walk, because he "has to pee"? And "if he doesn't calm down" you'll crate him (after he destroys your stuff)?

Oh... Oh, no...

Crate your dog. As PP said, much more politely, it's in their best interest. Every time you allow this zoomies crap, you endorse it. And then you make the crate a punishment because it's used as a last-resort instead of a first step.

Everything. Ev.Er.Y.Thing with a rescue starts with their crate. They leave the crate to go immediately outside to pee, then they do their activities, then they go back to the crate. Slowly, you extend the time outside of the crate, once they stabilize into a routine. It is the same for shelter/rescue dogs. There really aren't any exceptions.

The very first thing a responsible dog owner does is crate train their dog. Whatever experience you think you have is insufficient and you need to (re)educate yourself, quickly, for your dog's sake. Your dog is going mental because he doesn't have the leadership and routines he needs you to make for him.

This is on you.[/quote]
