re: Pet owners question: crate training and leaving dog out to roam

I did not crate train mine, he started sleeping in the bed at 6 weeks old.

We have a pretty good size backyard and a doggy door.

But he still suffers from separation anxiety so bad he has to take pills at times, if I have to leave he will sit in the front window staring at the driveway until I return.

It's a pain to deal with but he is part of the family
