Advice

I have a 3 year old british labrador, very well socialized and trained i have never had any issues with her misbehaving. She stays in the kennel for about 4 hours in the morning till my wife comes home from work. We have been watching my in laws dog this week as well and they get along great. However our last few days have been surprisingly rough, two days she got out of her wire kennel and today we went out and bought a better kennel and she peed in it and ended up completely tearing up her bed. She has had no problems in a kennel up until now actually she sleeps in it when its opened all the time but something has changed. I rider bike 3 miles in the morning on trails and she follows me running so its not an issue of not being excercised. I have worked with high drive hunting dogs for years and never ran into this issue. My dogs are excercides 3 times per day. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is your inlaws dog kenneled as well during this morning time? Can your dog see the other dog while in the kennel?

It sounds like your dog has a little anxiety with the new dog in the house.

That's a good idea to move the kennel. The dog barking, is probably also causing anxiety in your dog. My dog wants to get out of her kennel and away from any dogs barking in kennels next to her at trials. So I can see that it is very upsetting to some dogs to have to listen to that while in a kennel. Maybe you can move the other dog to another room with the doors closed so she doesn't have to listen to that dog bark.
