Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hey guys! I need help finding a husky proof kennel. I got one of the plastic kennels from Walmart that have the metal doors but he knows how to get the door off. He used to have an all metal kennel but he managed to break it, injuring himself in the process. Any recommendations? |

| How about something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Go-Pet-Club-37-Inch-24-5-Inch/dp/B006GJQ67K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380662934&sr=8-1&keywords=heavy+duty+dog+kennel
Or this one has thicker bars.

| I have had good luck with metal crates from General Cage. They are made of a bigger gauge wire and have latches and hinges that are simple for people but tougher for dogs to work. Maya has yet to damage the General cage crate, however the petsmart crate (I think it was top paw) she destroyed. Figured out how to open the doors the first day, chained them shut and she figured out she could bend the wires. |

| If you don't feel like buying a new one, and the plastic one still works, every day when we put Nikolai is his plastic crate, we turn it sideways and put Siku's crate in front of it so it makes it so he can't open the door to get out (the back of the crate is also against a wall). can you just put something heavy like a weight or anything in front of the door just to block him from getting out?
If that doesn't make sense the way I'm explaining it, I would be happy to take a picture for you to get an idea! Its the only way that we can keep him in. |

| I've tried using bungies to hold it shut and it didn't work. Sadly, I don't have something heavy enough to block it. He's smart. He knows how to scoot his cage. I will look into some of the suggestions that you guys have given. |

| Hughie, do you know which particular general cage crate you have? Does Maya have room to stand up or turn around? I really think Chess is claustrophobic or simply terrified of kennels because no matter what, he panics in kennels. I've tried desensitizing but we don't seem to get much farther than eating in the kennel with the door open. |
