Keith Kaplan Webboard User Reg: 03-09-2009 Posts: 230 Loc: Phoenix, AZ Offline	So I start advanced obedience classes with Ted this week, but I am concerned about Flash. Since I've had Flash (1 Year), he has never been without me or Ted. He always has one of us. He sometimes gets anxious when I leave, but it only manifests by standing at the door or whining for a few seconds, but that is when my girlfriend is inside and she can see what he is doing. I am concerned that I am taking Ted to training and my gf is taking her dog as well and Flash is going to be left alone. He is crate trained, but is not too fond of the crate and will just lay there and not eat even high value treats. I don't crate Flash during the day and have not crated him in a long time. Does anyone have any recommendations for Flash when I take ted to training? Should I crate him or do you think it will only make him more anxious and stressed? Do any of you have multiple dogs where you leave one to train the other and what do you do? Any advice would be appreciated as it is worrying me as well. Thanks!

Maybe that would help?
