Thing is there’s never any straightforward answer.
I ditched the crate for mine and let him sleep with me in my bed and then today, he got very worked up.
Play wouldn’t help, settling him down wouldn’t work, food?? Water?? Nope not the issue.
He used to bark in the crate but he was barking anyway at me so I put him in there and he settled immediately.
Now I’m not sure about the psychology of it, why he’d seek out a place that was so stressful before.
Sometimes he just needs that space.
(I’d like to specify this is a positive post and in no way am I complaining. This is to highlight that there isn’t any “fix all” solution for dogs. One thing may work then not and that’s okay.)
