| I would never look at " crating" as a fun thing. Crating is a serious topic. It has serious implications. Lot's of do's and don'ts. In any event. The less time your dog spends in a crate,,,,, the better. That doesn't mean that time spent in a crate is somehow a Sin.. Quite the contrary. However, i you crate your dog during the day, please balance that with quality time and freedom when you return home. But more importamtly>>>>> the ideal situation is to rottie proof your home so that your furry friend can have the roam of the house while you are away. If you must crate,,, then please make sure that all collars are removed before crating, and any toy that could be a problem are also removed. I would much rather have a chewed couch than a dead pooch. |
