My DH was moving furniture into our home yesterday while I was at work, and since the doors to outside needed to be wide open, Murphy had to be put away. In a moment of forgetfulness (we'd talked about not doing this because of what I'd read about greyhounds needing to see what's happening around them) DH shut Murphy in the bedroom while he was gone. He wasn't away long (20 minutes?) but when he got back Murphy had added some "character" to the baseboard and door frame of our bedroom. It's really not that bad at ALL, just two small chunks and a couple teeth marks. I don't think it's separation anxiety, because she doesn't piddle or chew or cry when we leave her. But according to DH she's been a bit more difficult to guide into her crate recently. He says she hops up onto the bed instead and behaves hesitantly until he can coax her in the crate. Any tips on preventing crate-hating? Murphy is not really food motivated, has no interest in the Kong, and she's only crated about 1-2 hours a day, 3-4 days out of the week. She will eventually get the run of the house (our short trials have all gone perfectly) but I don't want her to hate her crate, in case we need to use it for whatever reason in the future. Also, any tips for repairing baseboards with tooth marks and small chunks missing? lol
