Routine

Because of Dillon's history of digging out, his routine was totally messed up because we would let him in the house too soon.  He started messes in the house if you know what I mean.  So, we had to keep him in his room during the daytime while we're out instead of letting him roam the house freely.  I felt better when someone assured us that his room is his security and it is not cruel to keep him in there.  If you are wondering, his room is connected to Gage's room.  It's like a bathroom without a toilet. It's not small as he has lots of room to sleep gnaw on bones, and walk around.  Since we put him on this routine, his behavior has improved.  As soon as we let him out of his room, he goes straight outside and to eat and to take care of biz.  He hasn't dug out in a couple weeks and I think it's because our neighbors behind us have some new dogs, so Dilly is to wrapped up chasing them along the fenceline.  But I doubt seriously that his digging out to chase whatever has come to an end.
