GiGi is one of my Malts. She is the most well behaved out of my three girls so she gets to hangout unsupervised a little more. She always goes to the potty in the right place and she doesn't get in to too much. She barks here and there but as long as she can see me or know which direction I went in, she's just fine.
Well the problem is that my husband doesn't really LIKE the dogs but more so tolerates them (except for Mia, the yorkie). He didn't like it that GiGi was allowed to stay in the kitchen 24/7. He said a kitchen was no place for a dog and that the baby gate at the doorway was a pain (trust me, he's never really home for it to bother him). The final straw was when GiGi decided to destory something. The corner of the wall in the kitchen. I didn't see it as a big deal. She's still a puppy and compared to some of the other things she could have done, this was minor (meaning, it could be fixed). Well after that he decided to go out and buy her a crate and put her with the other two girls at bedtime. Well, that's been pure he** all week. GiGi barks all night long and its so loud you can't ignore it. I know she's mad and that's why she's doing it, but I don't know how to get her to stop. The other two have always been crated at night as they are still working on their potty training stage but GiGi is very well mannered and has even slept in our room before w/out messing up a thing. The wall was just a mistake and she hasn't gone back to it since.
Any suggestions on how to help her transition?
