... spend time in their crates, even if you're home. This is a photo of my office while I'm on the computer. If you only use your crate when you go out, your dog may associate the crate with you leaving. Then you will have a dog that whines and scratches the whole time he's in there. Give them something nice while they're inside like a raw bone or a stuffed Kong and they will love going in!
During this extreme cold, I've had my dogs in 24/7. They don't all get along so this is the safest place for them. They are all happy to go in and take turns spending 15-20 minutes outside. It's a rotation of dogs all day. Dogs in crates, dogs loose in the house and dogs outside. And everyone is happy and safe!
Going clockwise, this is Gypsy, Zeus, Cruz and Gaia.
