| Re: Crate training an older dog I don't think that you should keep 8 year old dog in a crate. How would you feel staying in a crate for a day? I don't think that you would like that...why do you think your dog will like it? I have a 2 year old rottie. And I put him in his crate ONLY when people come in a house that he never saw before or when i'm vocuming or washing the floors. |
