Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
We have had 2 successful trips out of the house for 2-3 hours with Ranger out of the crate. Bless his heart, nothing destroyed, only casualty a few new scratches in the door.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
In retrospect, I think Ranger was just super pissed that HE was in a crate and our other 2 dogs were not. I have a sneaking suspicion that Elwood may have been teasing him.
As for peeking in the window, I would have all three boys looking back out at me
, thank goodness for FaceTime and Skype, we were able to see what they were up to and actually be "the voice of God" when we saw something we didn't like. Hahah.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
I don't think he knows my car yet specifically. He knows when cars come and go but not which one is mine. He is doing good with short 10-15 minute disappearances so I will keep increasing it.

Never underestimate his ability to be tuned directly in to you, and all you do - including when your car leaves.karenz wrote:I don't think he knows my car yet specifically.
If he could talk, he might tell you that the intake valve on the third cylinder of your motor has an extra .5mm gap that causes a slight tapping noise when the valve opens.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
Hahaha. So true. Thor was 18 months when we adopted him, but he was quick to learn the sound of each of our vehicles, but what truly surprised us was he detected them coming down the road at a considerable distance--out of sight and far enough for a couple minutes to pass before one of us pulled in the drive. (The husband and I agreed that he would make it hard for either of us to be engaged in secret activities.)centrop67 wrote: karenz wrote:I don't think he knows my car yet specifically.

Every Harley has its own sound and he knows the sound of ours over others, too. I don't even know the sound of our bike over most others. When he hears one in the distance, he stops for a second to listen, and if it's ours, brother, get out of the way.
All vehicles = No-holds-barred happy dance fully complimented with hound-ish yelps and howls. Which means neighbors always know, too, when one of us is "almost" home.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
I never thought a dog would be so in tuned to where my where about. Case in point I've said Greg has lost Dutch twice. He only came out of his hiding place until I walk into the forest. I know this sounds 
but I could be a block away and Greg knows when I'm on my way home by the fact that Dutch would go berserk. Dutch is not quite 2
My parents were watching my daughter one day while I was at work my dal at the time went off his stick when I was around the corner in my car they had no idea. My mom asked my dad what the heck was wrong with my dog. My dad told my mom I was probably around somewhere.
They know.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
Xander is doing great with his freedom. So far nothing destroyed. At least I can run errands without locking him up. The longest he has been out is about an hour. I make sure he is worn out before I leave so he will be ready for a nap.

Re: Question about leaving dog out of crate
This is my final update. Xander is doing great with full range of the house. I can leave him 3+ hours and no problem. No destruction no accidents. It is wonderful. I didn't expect it to go so well. Thanks to all for the help.
