Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| For about a week now Appa won't calm down at night. He's fed, watered, bathroomed, exercised, and mentally stimulated, and he justa pants and paces all night until bed time. On our walks he seems distracted. I've tried increasing his exercise thinking it might be the colder weather and increased energy, but it has no effect other than he pants even harder while pacing. He also struggles to settle down and sleep at night. His appetite and water consumption are normal. Stool is normal. In the mornings hes verry clingy before we go to work, but at lunch he's perfectly normal. Any guesses what might be going on? We did stop crating him and baby gate (2 high) in a room with toys, bed, and water. Think he's just stressed about the change? Even a week later? |

| I think I remember that he's about Sabaka's age...?? And, you know, Sabaka does the same thing! If we introduce a new chew toy, he enjoys that. But most evenings it's just constant panting and pacing. I wouldn't say he's stressed. I think he's bored. I just wish he would chew his antler or his Nylabone or something...
Sabaka's been doing this for quite some time now... |

| If you don't have the crate set up I would bring it out again and see if things change. Cheyenne was very upset when we took away her crate initially. We brought it back out about 3 months ago and she will go in there a lot by herself just to be alone. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| Hes 9 months now, how old is sabaka? I guess as a teenager I moped around the house saying "I'm bored..." myself. Maybe it's the equivalent.
He grew out of his crate and don't want to buy another. He's so good we're working up to "run of the house" status. His crate is big enough for short uses, but it's too small for all day at work. My wife is starting to work less, so it seems silly to buy a big one for a few more months, then he'll rarely (if ever) be crated. |

| By bring it out I meant make it available- not necessarily crate him _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group! |

| Sabaka is 10 months old. We have always had his crate upstairs and we block off the stairs in the evenings. I, too, have wondered if he would like access to his crate. He seems happy when we go upstairs for laundry or to veg. He'll grab a crate toy and lay on the bed chewing. He hardly ever chews downstairs. We still crate Sabaka, so I don't want to permanently move the crate downstairs nor do I want to lug it down every evening.
I will be interested to hear if Appa pants and paces less once he has his crate again. I might be willing to move Sabaka's if I knew it would make a difference. |

| My dogs are primarily outdoors now that we're living with my mother in law. They have very nice kennels and an air conditioned/ heated doghouse. I bring one or two in on the weekends. When I bring Nova in I have to set up her crate because otherwise she will just pace the house nonstop. As soon as I put it up she just lays down in it, door open the whole time. |
