Hi everyone,
So Riley is now 7 1/2 months old and i am wondering if it's time to give him more freedom around the house. Right now he is allowed only the living room (where we spend most of our time) and part of the kitchen. He does sleep in the bedroom with us, but in his crate. I know he wants to be able to follow us from room to room, but we only allow him to go into the other rooms on leash or when totally supervised. He is still in that phase where he eats whatever he can pick up and he still chews up things, inside or outside. :roll: Also he isn't real good about letting us know when he needs to go out to potty, although he hasn't had any accidents since he was about 5 months. So we haven't been giving him unsupervised free time all alone. Is he ready for more freedom?
When did all of you allow your dogs access to the rest of the house? I would love to hear your stories.
