Annoying Habits Your Dog Does

Dear Adam:

My Springer Spaniel has gotten a little more resistant to the come command when she knows it means "Get in the kennel." At night, she goes in between nine and ten. And like clock work, she wakes me up at 2:00 am. I am sure I have started a bad habit, but I am afraid the neighbors are being disturbed. She still digs once or twice a week during the day. It's like she goes into a panic after 4 to 5 hours in the kennel.

Thanks,
Dick

If you wait to see if she's going to respond, then she will wait to see if you're going to make her. (That is, until the behavior has become a conditioned response.)

When you say kennel, you mean a crate-- for at night, right? If
