Crate Problem
My new beagle is almost 4 months old, and wants nothing to do with his crate. He doesn't mind going in, but when he is closed in he starts clawing and whining and barking. Also, when I end leave and come back (sometimes within 5 minutes), he has pooped and peed everywhere. I thought dogs weren't...
