Wondering if anyone has any ideas when it would be time to let my 5 mo. Old Brittany stay out of her crate at night?

She is out most of the day . Tells me when she needs to use the bathroom on a regular basis. But she is still a chewer. But is very good about only chewing her toys .

Many times during the day she loves to sleep at the foot of my son's bed.

I'm just not sure when to leave her out at night . I still kennel her when I leave to go shopping or do errands.

Any advice would be helpful
Thanks

I have had the same problem. I am trying to trust my own so what I did was this you should try it. Leave the dog out for 30 min with you gone. Then come back to see if Brittany did anything. If so show your dog the problem and put her back in the Kennel. Keep doing this for a while and gradually work to a few hours. This is how I trained my dog and I hope it works for you as well. Plus try to keep anything your dog can chew, away from her. I hope this works for you as it did for me.

I did the same thing to weed my dog from the kennel. Great answer.
