So today is a first day my German Shepherd pup is crate free while I'm at work...

You need to correct behavior as it happens...too late now.

 

Now try having a dog that will misbehave and then punish itself. She will shred a paper towel  secretly then I'll happen to see her in her cage....I go in to the living room and find the shredded paper towel.

Something that a behaviorist told us when working with our second dog.

If the dog is left alone and tears things up it will begin to associate that with your returning which only reinforces the behavior you want to stop.

You've got to approach leaving them alone by starting with very short time periods and gradually increase the time.

How old is he?

High energy dogs, and "smart" dogs don't fare so well when young and left out of the crate....too much going on in that brain.

7 month old 70lbs puppy. We left him alone before for short periods of time and he did well. Now he destroys poo lol

Yea, far too young to leave for that long.

 

They don't really destroy that much stuff until they have a lot of energy and are strong enough to do the destroying....

 

I would bet that you may have to crate him for another couple years, or get some in depth training for him.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
