ducke said:I think it is because of the horror story's I have heard of and from the pictures I have seen from Solar's breeder.
I am considering a WIRE crate and will be on the hunt this weekend - YARD SALES ..
What kind of pooch do you have ?

I am not sure if you have a PET or not but it's one of the most successful forms of training as it set's a limit in your pet's head ( Mainly Dogs).
I got the crate for my puppy on Thursday evening = Set it up and with in 15minutes he crawled in and went to sleep = BINGO the crate just paid for itself cause thats why I wanted it - It is now the SOLAR ZONE - Its not a BAD thing it's a comfort thing .
I do not put him in it - He comes & goes himself as the door was removed so he will never feel confined or trapped.
Many people have different ways of handling there pet but when your pet can reach up to 180 pounds by the time he is 2 years old = You would get a crate also or have nothing left in your home and the chance of having no control of your dog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still searching for another CRATE .
THERE IS NO super RUSH for it .As it will be used for Solar's Girlfriend when she comes home.
HAPPY MONDAY ALL

dogs, under no circumstances, enjoy crate training. It is one of the hardest and most neglectful practice we as humans put on our pets. I agree that it works, but to convince yourslef that they "like" it is laughable at best. Its akin to saying that criminals "like" jail. Its thier safe little place..
keep crate training, stop kidding yourself. Get it done, and get it out of that crate asap
p.s he's "going in it himself" because dogs are innocent and obediant creatures by nature. Telling yourself that he would go in there without feeling he has to is ri-goddamn-diculous
sorry if its harsh but had to be said

squirrely said:god you sound like a moron. dogs are den creatures. most enjoy retreating to a partially enclosed space.
both my puppies arrived at my house and immediately went into the crate i had set up, not because they had had ever been "crate trained" but because it felt like a safe and secure space.
taking advantage of this part of their nature and using it for house-breaking purposes sounds pretty fucking smart to me!
geminigirl said:Dogs feel safe when you are out, when they are in a their own little house. The important thing is that you dont keep them in long. That to me is very unfair. OUr dog is never in there for more then 4 hours without a pee break and a walk. I think crate training is the more responsible and proper way to train a dog. It keeps them from choking on things in the house as well saving your furniture.
As for night time..she prefers to be under the duvet in the bed.
So shooosh.![]()
