Patience and Crate Training

Amelia has been in the crate in the evening, but very rarely during the day. This morning I started the crate training for when I am at work. I realized that at times I feel as though I am losing my patience and that she is in need of discipline. Her nipping and barking for attention can be too much at times. I took her for a long walk at 6 am this morning, and I got her crate all ready this morning. I made sure that the radio was on to light adult hits, plenty of water provided and a kong toy and other toys to distract her. I will see how she is doing at lunch time.
