I have a 12 week old and have some crate training concerns. We started on crate training the first day we got Anya. I put her in several times (everytime she fell asleep) and left the door open. From there we progressed to shutting her in for 5-10 minutes and letting her out to play for a bit.
At night she screamed bloody murder and I slept with plugs for a week. She finally started to adjust but still cries off and on through the night. The problem is during the day she is in the crate since my wife and I work. We come home for lunch to let her out. She really hates being in the crate and I can usually hear her screaming when I walk up to the front door.
I've been looking at her teeth tonight and I can swear it looks like they've been filed down a bit by her chewing on the metal door. Is this possible and should I be concerned?
What to do?!
