My shihtzu scratches at the door and barks real loud when we leave. He paces too We have to crate him, or else he will destroy the door. I feel so sorry for him, he acts so happy when we come back like we have been gone forever. How can I cure this?
Answer
My dog gets vary upset during the day when we are at work a local dog store (not a Pet-smart or Petco), have all-natural anti-anxiety treats. We give the dog a treat before we leave for the day and he has been great, he also gets really anxious when we have tons of people over, so the treats help for that as well. Now that he got accustomed to calming down while we are gone, we only give him one every other day or what not to wean him off of them.

How do you know what size crate to get for a growing puppy?
Q. Ive been doing some looking, and crates are quite expensive.. around $50 to $75 and I really dont want to have to buy new ones every time he outgrows them.
Right now I have a 5 month old American Bulldog/Pit mix.
I know the crates are only supposed to be big enough so they can turn 360 and lay, but no more because they will potty in a corner and sleep in another.
Any advise?
Also.. off the subject, my puppy is 5 months, hes about 20-21 inches from the floor to the top of his rump. How long until he if full grown?
Thanks for the answers, we havent bought a crate yet because we really didnt want to crate train him. I havent had many dogs in my life, and this one is like family. I just couldnt stomach the fact of keeping him locked up all day, bored with nothing to do. But, when we go to work, he is inside all day, and pees and poops, and it just really sets back his potty training, hes not trained yet. So we decided this would be the best thing to get him trained, and afterwards we wouldnt use the crate.

Answer
you measure a dog standing, from the floor to the top of his shoulders.
for a crate, go to petsmart/petco, they should have crates already setup. bring your dog and put him in some. make sure when he stands, his head does not hit the top, can turn and lay down nicely stretched out.
he can grow to 27in at the shoulder.
so its better to get a bigger crate than risk a smaller one. there are crates with a panel for life stages that can cut the crate in half or w/e size you want.
crate training is needed no matter what.
the dog is in the crate when you arnt home, or cannot watch over him. the crate should be a safe haven for the dog. but obviously he will hate it for some time.
