[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Daytime crate time is really what I need when I need to be on a call, focused, and or on a video call and I cannot watch him. I have tried to plan these times with his naps to no avail. When he is sleeping and at my feet, I am 100% ok with that. But he needs to be safe when I cannot give him attention and the crate is my only option there. [/quote]

You shouldn’t be letting him sleep at your feet! he’s confused and doesn’t know why you won’t let him sleep at your feet all the time.  He’s like a baby and wants to be near you all the time. All his naps need to be in his crate. No exceptions. Put him in, say nap time and put a blanket over most of the crate (I leave the bottom 4” inches open for fresh air. [/quote]

I have been doing daytime crate when he is drowsy or already asleep but he just wakes to a fury and never settles down again. I leave him for about an hour (shorter than the typical nap) and then let him out. He ends up sleeping outside the crate. If I leave him to cry it out during the day, am I teaching him to hate the crate more and be more aggressive the next time he is in there?[/quote]
