I also have struggled with crating him. So thanks to fellow NR member Blair who is on the New Rattitude Behavoir Modification team gave me good ideas and a great plan to work on his tolerance to being crated. He eats in the xpen now with no problem; take treats in there and yesterday; laid down on a doggie bed and enjoyed a bully stick (with the door closed) while I crafted for about 30 minutes right next to him. That was amazing!! He's got a ways to go before he will be comfortable in a crate; but it's pretty amazing how far he's come in a week.

Shae's Daily Walks
Shae continues to do great on his daily walks. He's up to a block on the walks and every day he is more confident. He's really confident on the way back (and probably happy to be heading back) and has a cute little strut to him. He's met people on the walks; and dogs; seen and heard cars. All is fine. The lawnmowers are kind of scary to him and garages opening ; but now he just pauses and looks now. No trying to run away. I might even be able to get a picture soon!
