My boyfriend and I recently relocated from Cincinnati back to my home area. We originally had two cocker spaniels (Bella-girl, 7 yrs old and Cooper-boy, 4 yrs old). Bella is very dominant and was too controlling of Cooper so, luckily, my dad agreed to take her. We now only have Cooper and he has been amazing-with one issue, of course, lol. The dogs used to sleep in the kennel at night to control wetting in the house, but with Bella gone Cooper has been able to control himself and now gets to sleep with us at night! Now, the only time he has to be in the kennel is when we leave the house; my boyfriend is against trusting him anywhere in the house while we are gone. The kennel is in the back of our house, in our bedroom, and is always there with the door open until we leave. Every time Cooper is kenneled he drools/spits all over his cage! He does not do this any other time. When I open the cage there's spit everywhere and he's covered in it. I have to bath him every time. This only started since we've moved and I know this can't be healthy...any suggestions?

McConnell also has a book on managing multi dog households that I found helpful (we had 2 pugs for several years - our older one passed away 2 months ago), but it sounds like that ship has sailed since you already gave away one of your pups.
