Hello, I just adopted a 2 year old chihuahua mix a week ago. He is very good— doesn’t use the potty in the house, eats well, walks well on leash, etc. He just has one issue— scratching at my front door when I leave. Since he has been very good I had been letting him free roam my place, but he scratches the door a few times when I leave and it’s damaging the paint. I tried to gate him off to the back section of the place but he’s a jumper. I have considered getting a taller gate but I think I just want to start crating him.
Since he is foully potty trained, I am not worried about him using the bathroom in his crate. I do want him to be comfortable so I am considering buying a large size crate. Is there any reason I shouldn’t give him so much room?
The crate is 30 inches in length and he is 22 inches.
