| Ollie and Max:
Aren't crates good things?! I think having a dog who's crate trained is a skill all dogs should have--they can save a life.
"he gets very grumpy about going in the crate at times."
Exactly what do you mean by "grumpy"? How is he grumpy "at times"? Is he happy about going into his crate at other times??
To make the crate a friendly place, I feed puppies & fosters in their crates & always give Fido a treat after being crated. (No treats for being let out of the crate which I do w/o fanfare or fuss.) |
