[quote=Anonymous]I have been taking my middle-aged dog to daycare twice a week for a couple years, so that I can work late on those days rather than get home and walk the dog. She no longer enjoys the daycare chaos and she gets cranky with the other dogs (vet indicates no physical reason for the change). The obvious alternative is a dog walker to come to my house and give the dog a break from her crate on those two long days. But, my dog won't "re-crate" -- she'll go in once per day for any length of time, but having gone in once, she will not re-enter. Insisting leads to her refusing the crate at all, on any day. I've tried training her to be confined in a different room in the house, but no luck (destructive separation anxiety). Any other ideas on how to give her a break from the crate? I'm less worried about her bladder -- she can probably hold it -- than about the fact she'll get no walk after a long day alone. [/quote]
