My dog absolutely *loves* his crate/cage. He’s sleeping in it right now…he hopped down from the couch, stretched, walked over to his bed (the crate/cage), and flopped down onto the overstuffed pillow covered with a gorgeously soft blanket and promptly fell asleep. And is snoring.

He goes to his bed several times a day for a nap. The door is always open, unless we need him to stay in for a while. He adores his bed.

People who think that crating is some big, bad thing have obviously never provided one for their dog…and likely don’t even have a dog. To me, not providing a safe, enclosed den for your dog is what is abusive. It would be like not providing a cat with a scratching post or a high place for it to hide out and watch the world beneath them, or not providing a little igloo for a hamster to burrow into.

Jude you obviously read NONE of the posts explaining why crates are important and necessary, so there’s no reason to argue with you any further.

j.U.d.E.- Sorry but unless you own a dog, you really can’t speak for the matter. Having a crate or kennel for a dog is one of the best things an owner can do for their dog. For example, my mom’s dog, Bo, is scared to DEATH of fireworks. He’s a big German Shepard and they live right next door to a baseball stadium. So in the summer they do fireworks every night on the weekends and some weekdays. He HAS to have the crate to sleep in at night so that he can feel safe. He may still cry and wimper because of the noise but it is WAY better then when he has free roam. You are looking at it from your own point of view, not the dogs. You see it as a boring place where you can’t escape and they see it as a safe place. Bo knows that if he is in the crate nothing is going to hurt him and he is safe.

Jude, it’s just a puppy. The puppy IS being trained, and this is part of the training. Training takes time and it won’t be so little by the time it’s done. Your position on this is coming from ignorance and your nuffing isn’t constructive.
