geoffrey [crate trained]

This week Matthew and I got Geoffrey a crate to sleep in during the night. We're having trouble potty training him STILL. He's good for a month and then the next month he goes to the bathroom in the house while we are sleeping multiple times a week. We are hoping this fixes our problem. So far, it has been great. I was so worried that he would cry all night because he was used to sleeping with us. On the day we brought it home, Clementine was very curious about it but Geoffrey wasn't so sure. We put a treat in there and he went in and got it. Then he came out to eat it. We repeated the process a couple of times until he sat in his crate and ate it. When we put him in there in the evening for bed, he went right in, got his treat, and laid down. He hasn't cried all week and I've even come in during the day to see him just laying down in it. It's such a relief that he already feels comfortable in his crate. He's such a smart dog. He's almost learned the word "crate." His newest trick is singing, but that will have to be posted with a video. Clementine doesn't care to sing, but she loves to shake your hand. When we brought the crate home, we brought a new toy for Clementine (can't hurt her feelings). She loves her new toy, but it doesn't give her treats like the crate gives Geoffrey treats. Whenever we open the door to let Geoffrey out, she runs in and sticks her head in to look for treats...haha...I don't have any pictures of that or of Clementine with her new toy (she was a bit camera shy), but here are a dew of Geoffrey's new bed!
