My dear little Violet is struggling with being alone for any length of time. I have tried warming her up to the idea of her crate in the kitchen, with treats and toys, leaving the door open so she could go in and our for treat or toy. But, on the 3 occasions we left her in for an hour, we came home to a poo disaster, her wearing a bit of it. She has room to lay in the crate, and turn around, but not enough to get away from any accident she may have in it. I then tried her in the kitchen , but with similar results only she wasn't wearing it. She cries quite a bit when she is left, long and loud. Should I continue to crate? I am leaning toward leaving her in the kitchen with the crate open so the mess would just be on the tile, and not over her but I want to help her get past this. She is now 4 months old. I don't think getting another dog for a companion will work with our living arrangements at this time. I was also considering these new CDB treats with hemp. Any thoughts on these?
