new cocker spaniel
I have had a 12 week old cocker spaniel for almost 2 weeks, he is doing awesome except for the crate. He will sleep in the crate all night with a minimal of fussing but when I try to put him in it during the day he howls and howls. I stay at home all day, but am trying to get him use to it for brief periods so hubby and I can actually go out. He is very comfortable with the crate, goes in and out, will bring toys in it, eat in it, etc but as soon as i close that door and try to leave the room the howling and barking begins. I would appreciate any ideas.
