I didn't want any dogs, then the wife convinced me to get 1. Then she convinced me to get another.
Now a couple of years later, I am trying to convince her for another! LOL.

Re: heck NIGHT - Kennel training
Yes, definitely make sure the kennel is next to the bed. When she whimpers, put your hand in there to let her know you are there.
If I remember correctly it took a couple weeks for ours not to cry at night in the kennel.

So I am entering my 1st hunt test. It will be in the middle of Feb. I will be entering Saturday's and Sunday's test so at least I will get the hang of it by day 2.
I just plan to go out and let the dogs do what they do best.
No e collars correct?
Any advice for the first time out?
Thanks!

How long will these last in the refrigerator before spoiling?
I have seen some conflicting numbers so thought I would get your opinions.
