when is it ok to start leaving your dog outside at night?

Question

she has been inside in the laundry at night (used to be in the main part but she was doing to many messes on our polished floors)
but she gets seperation anxeity even when she is outside during the day. she is a very effectionate dog and loves to jump all over people. even people new to her, (but she also does a little piddle with new people)
we hate hearing her whine even when she is in the laundry. our bedroom is right next to it and lead out to the stairs of the laundry so she always sleep right outside our door (we can feel a warm spot when we get up in the morning) we have a dog kennell outside for her but she may be a little big for it. she has only ever gone in there when i have put her foodbowl in there. but she won't go in there to rest or sleep.

how dare you say we don't deserve the effection from our pet! i spend a lot of time with her during the day she gets 3 hours of plytime with me then we walk her when my fiance gets home. i am sick of people putting others down for just asking a simple question without knowing all the details first. so anyone that has rude comments like crazychicca4405's, don't bother sending any advice. people need to learn respect in this world! as you can tell i am not impressed by her comment or so called advice!

she has got chew toys, she doesn't get fed in the kennell. i only did that to see if she'd get used to the kennell. and it wasn't an actual meal it was only a handfull of her biscuits. and as for keeping her in the laundry at night. the owners of our house don't want her upstairs or in any carpeted area's. that'swhy she can't be in the same room as us. and i deffinately don't like locking her in a crate or whatever you yanks call it. the launfry room is a big area, we like her to have a big space to walk around in.can people stop telling us that we are bad owner and keep there pathetic advice to themselves. unless you actually have the answer to what i asked
which by the way if people noticed is:
when is it ok to start leaving your dog outside at night?
i don't want to hear any of the following:
your not good owners, people like you don't deserve the effection from your dog, why do you have a dog?.
unless you have something nice to say don't say it at all!

Answer 1

Why have a dog if it spends its life in a laundry room and the next step is outside?

Why is she in the laundry room when you are home? You can hear her whining, obviously you are there. Why is she not with you?

How do you know she "gets seperation anxiety even when she is outside during the day"? Are you home then too?

She jumps all over people. Do you expect her to train herself?

Again, why do you have a dog?

It's NEVER "okay" to leave a dog out at night.

Answer 2

I'm not fully understanding why you would want a pup. You spend 3 hours a day playing with her and possibly 1 to 3 hours walking her and she spends the rest of the time alone in the laundry room because she can't be in the bedroom. That's 17 or 18 hours alone. It's really hard to give you the answer you want because dogs are pack animals and then family becomes their pack. Alone in the laundry room or outside for all those hours isn't a good thing to do to your pup. You might reconsider having a dog and get a goldfish. And, yes I'm being rude because when she gets bigger she'll chew up the laundry room or bark all day and night outside and end up at a shelter.

Answer 3

Why would you get a dog and then put her outside - even locking her away from you in the laundry is not ideal. Dogs are social animals, they want to be with you.

Sounds as if you need to spend some more time and patience potty training your dog, not shoving her outside.

Take her out first thing in the morning, after every meal, and several times during the day. Walk her to the same place so she gets the scent of the potty done before and praise her a lot when she gets it right.

Meanwhile, neutralize, don't just clean, neutralize - the odor of the places in the house where she has pottied or she will go back there thinking it is where she should go.

All dogs can be house trained, this is your pet and should be with the family. Get on it and work on her potty training, not throwing her outside.

It's cruel, she wants to be with you - your "polished floors" don't have feelings and will survive some dirt, your dog loves you.

Answer 4

Many people allow their dogs -- even large ones -- to stay in the house all the time except for outdoor exercise and potty breaks. Because of her personality, leaving her in might be the best thing to do. However, if she is "messing" in the house, take her to the vet to see if there is a physical problem that needs to be taken care of. Otherwise, keep her clean, bug-free and happy and be certain to give her as many "potty breaks" as she needs. You might want to get one of those indoor kennel/crates to have her sleep in, and keep several layers of newspaper at one end (away from food and bedding) for those indoor accidents. You can put the kennel crate in or near your bedroom to keep her from being lonely.

Answer 5

If she whines in the laundry room,then she's probably going to howl and bark if you leave her outside,which the neighbors will not appreciate.Also,if the kennel is too small,she won't be happy,and does she have a doghouse? If she's still a pup,the you need to give her a chance to mature.Don't just throw her outside,poor thing.

Answer 6

Well, maybe you should try training your dog to become a well behaved pet, instead of just putting it outside. Try crating the dog in your room at nite, you might find that being in the same room with you, the whining will stop eventually once the dog gets used to the new arrangement.

Answer 7

First, don't put a dog's food in their kennel. Take her out for a good run in the eve. Buy a crate just big enough for her to turn around in and keep her there for the night in the laundry room. If she is having all kinds of accidents, for awhile when she is inside put her in her crate when you are not out walking her.. let her out for short periods of time, praise her every time she goes outside to go to the bathroom. Get her some chew toys, stuffed animals to pass the time away while. When company comes around... introduce them one at a time to your dog. When your dog does not act appropriate put her in her crate, if she is appropriate praise her, and have your company praise her. She needs to be socialized more.. this is the problem.

Answer 8

Treat your dog like a child. Honestly, as long as they are not bored, she should be o.k. with it. The night before you decide to leave her out, make sure to walk her, or run her at least 45 mins, so she doesn't bark at everything. She'll be so worn out from the walk that she'll basically sleep through the night.
It's going to take some time for her to get used to it. Treat it like an addiction. Ween her off of being in the laundry room. And stand your ground. Get one of those automatic waterers so she doesn't get too dehydrated at night, and good luck.

Answer 9

Try training her so that she can be a part of your family. Also, you could try crating her so that she cannot mess on your "polished" floors. People like you don't deserve the undying affection they recieve from their dogs.

Answer 10

You could always spend some time housebreaking your dog. No more messes on the floor.
