We have a 14 month old Labrador "puppy". We left him for the first time this weekend- theres always someone at home (me, DH, DS, our nanny with our youngest) apart from the odd 1/2 hour here and there. He sleeps upstairs with DS- we've told him time and time again it isn't a good idea and it will do him good sleeping downstairs but he won't do it.
Anyway- dog went to sitters this weekend, and he obviously slept downstairs crated. He hates his crate- well he doesn't hate it, but if you close him in he goes nutto (but will happily sleep in there on his own accord). The dog sitter didn't say it- but he obviously barked through the night. The dog is knackerd, think he's been given some sort of sedative to calm him down (he's just not himself- very dozy, not wanting to play) and the sitter looked knackard and said "we would have to have a serious discussion if you need him to stay again"- meaning in my eyes, he isn't welcome until he's sorted out.
What can we do?
