Where to begin? I have an 8 month old puppy/dog, a cross between a fox terrier and a bedlington patterdale, and she absolutely hates being left alone. She originally belonged to my aunt and uncle who had both her and her sister. However, the two sisters did not get along very well and started to...

My Labrador is almost 2. I’ve used a crate as she chews things when left alone for longer than an hour. She didn’t like it when she a pup, then I stopped using it as she was ok alone, then I moved house and she chewed lots when alone, so I got a big crate and she took to it really well, went in...
