If someone leaves their dog in a crate while they are at work then they should not have a dog. If its to stop your dog from getting out, you need a new fence; if the dog can escape than it is obviously not secure. If you keep your dog in a cage because it will chew your belongings, then you have clearly not trained it properly, and it is probably bored. If you can't provide your dog with enough stimulation, or for some reason aren't capable of training it properly, then you should not have one.
and FYI, when you said "because it will chew your belongings, then you have clearly not trained it properly, and it is probably bored". This clearly shows you don't know what you are talking about. Dogs do NOT chew stuff out of boredom. It is from separation anxiety and they get stressed out. Another reason for some to crate their dog. Some dogs stress out when they have the run of the house and you're not home. In a crate, they feel safe and secure in a quiet dim room
My beagle was crate trained and LOVED being in her crate! It was her little den. Dogs are natural den animals. It seems cruel at first, but oddly, they learn to love it. Its extremely convenient as well, for trips, etc.
I'm no expert but that looks cruel ... that's a cat box?? I wouldnt even put my puppy in that ... way too small ... imagine being in that yourself ... ?
@funksensations Crates are actually not cruel as long as you get the right size for your dog/puppy. Especially when your puppy is too young, crates are really beneficial. Crates shouldn't seem like a way of punishment or torture for the puppy, but instead, the puppy should like the crate is his private area - where he can have a peaceful time. It should feel like a bedroom to him.
There are numerous humane alternatives to crating for people whose schedules force them to leave their canine companions at home for the duration of the workday. PETA supports humane, interactive obedience training, which promotes and teaches guardians effective ways to communicate with their animal companions.
In 49 years of owning all sorts of dog breeds I have never felt it necessary to cage a dog, for any sort of training. Cages are a lazy owner's way of managing their dog. If you don't have the skills, time and appropriately safe property for a dog, then don't get one. No way is a crate a den - dens have multiple exits which are never locked, animals come and go at will.
my brother has 2 bichons and the love their crate! they will go lie down in it when the wanna sleep and they will just sit their in the crate poking their heads out and watching u lol.
I have this solid rubber ball. Everytime my dog poops or pee in the house it would get that ball thrown at it but if it do its business outside it get rewarded. After 2 weeks I guess it got the message :)
Oh thanks! She likes it alot better since I put the last comment on :) she was on a plane for 5 hours and didn't complain once, she was just happily playing with her toys :D
Actually, i never crate trained my dog (standard poodle) And he always goes outside. i think crate training isn't the best way to potty train your puppy because the poor thing is stuck in a cage the whole day! what i did, is i attached a bell to my garden door, and i trained him to touch the bell to his nose when he has to go outside (to pee), so then i know when he has to go. 2 wks later, i got rid of the bell, and now he just waits by the door when he has to pee. Try it! it really works!!
@comedyfreaks100 You are an intelligent breath of fresh air in a very stale conversation. Crating is cruel. It's so flipping obvious and yet for every person who has the common sense to say it, there are 10 vacant-eyed idiots who will oppose them.
ur so wrong. every professional will tell u to use a crate. what's cruel is the yelling, swatting on the nose and fear instilled in the dog for years and years because the dog is not successfully house traIned. few weeks in a crate (which they consider there den and enjoy) or the unfortunate spanking followed by 15 years of yelling because the dog isn't trained to the owners expectations
@strukelj There are many unqualified (self proclaimed) "professionals" in dog training. Have patience and work with the dog - that way you don't have to hit him OR lock him in a box. Crating is a recent thing. It is popular because it allows people to be lazy. Anyone who gets a dog should know it's a big responsibility and a lot of work early on. You stop him by startling him (a clicker) and lovingly redirecting his actions. The problem is that people get dogs who don't make time to train them.
@strukelj Training a dog really isn't that difficult; if you can't train a dog without the use of a cage, or yelling and hitting, then you don't deserve to have one. Seriously, if you know so little about dogs that you have to cage them to stop them doing things YOU should've trained them not to do, you shouldn't have a dog!
First off where are you getting hitting and yelling from? This is a prime example of someone who needs to feel self righteous and lecture someone on an issue that isn't even present. Secondly, if my dog was never crate trained, he would of been urinating all over the house 6-10 times in an 8-9 hour span while at work. No amount of training will stop a 10 week old puppy from that, it is purely physical.
My dog is a year and a half now and is house trained to perfection. Washroom in the morning, washroom after work, and washroom before bed. The only physical way you can stop a dog from peeing in the house when they are just a puppy is by crating them. Mind you this is from a scenario from a dog owner who leaves for 8 hours. My dog doesn't need a crate anymore and I saved a lot of aches and cleaning by crating him when he is young.
But I'm sure you'll respond with a claim that a 10 week old puppy won't pee all over the house when i'm gone right, because I can train him that way. Without citing an actual way to do it I imagine. And as for yelling. When you catch your dog in the act, like chewing on the couch, you want to make a very loud yell to startle them, like OH NO, so the get the point. Any trainer will tell you this, not just the "self proclaimed" ones.
Most people with ur mentality, like a couple girls I know, do the exact opposite than they should when there dog does something wrong. They lower there voice and bring the dog close to them and say no no doggy, you shouldn't do that, that's bad. It;s all about tone, hence the startling them. They instead, make there dog feel good and warm at that moment, so they associate doing said bad behavior as something good. They're dogs are not well behaved and chew her stuff all the time
well there is a way to make them enjoy it, all you have to do is find a toy with a hollow middle and put treats or food that yuor puppy/ dog likes to eat.
then let her sniff it but before she bites it, quickly pick up the toy and throw it in her crate, once she is in , dont EVER close the door until you have practise this for a while.
if you noticed that your dog runs out after picking up the toy, you might want to consider using string to hold it in the crate. once you practice this for a while, it will start to enjoy it and when she goes into her crate you can give her treats or hide some treats in her crate so that she'll have some fun finding them and also know where is good and where is bad.
youre making it feel trapped and associating the crate with punishment. you need to teach her that its her room not a jail :) take a toy and rile her up for a second, then throw the toy in the cage and close the door before she gets in and she will be clawing to get it. and that will show her that its okay to go in there, its not a bad place
@izzie128 so does ours.. he thinks he's being punished but he's not...then after awhile he'll laydown in his cage thinking 'they dont love me' .. which isnt true... lol... we put him in his cage for different reasons. he just doesnt understand why lol
I will be picking up my Bichon Frise next week and wondered if I could put her in the crate at night to sleep in the kitchen? any help would be appreciated. Thanks
No. You shouldn't do that at all! You should keep the dog in your bedroom while you sleep, or maybe outside your bedroom, with your bedroom door open.
you know, i really do think it is all difference of opinion. we have had tons of dogs, mostly golden retrievers. we have a small room (laundry room) off our kitchen. it is very close to the bedroom. while the pup was learning not to chew or pee, she was kept in there. they whine the 1st few nights, but they learn that they do not always get there way. then after 2 or 3 weeks, the pup was allowed to sleep in the bedroom with the other dog. i am happy to say we have great, friendly, obediant dogs
i think if you put them in a room in their crate, then they are not set up to fail. we left newspapers out and the pup would use them if they need. if you bring a young pup into your bedroom, they are gonna chew and pee, which is setting them up to fail which is not good. also putting them in their crate teaches them that you are the owner and that they are not dominant over you. i no you already got your pup. but i hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!
u have to make the puppy like the crate. then u should make the puppy go in da crate when its time for itz bed time. keep da door open on the crate for the first few days. put the crate in your bedroom. DONT PUT DA CRATE IN THE KITCHEN
