Hi,
As most of you know we have had our Belle for only a few days. She is well crate-trained and goes to bed at 9pm and gets up with the kids around 6am. I have a question. My husband will be getting home from work tonight around 2am, I know that Belle will be alarmed and probably bark at him when he comes in. Does he let her out of her crate and pet her for a few minutes and then put her back to bed, or does he talk to her through the crate and then tell her to go back to bed. She will definitely be startled, but what is the correct thing to do? If he takes her out of the crate does he take her outside to go to the bathroom? Would this set up a bad habit? Thanks!
