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. |

| I don't know that she'll never stop being a goof. Frankie never did, lol. He just couldn't get out and couldn't hurt himself. I provided him with TONS of exercise hoping to wear him out before hand and he was only left for 2-4 hours at a time. He just really hated being alone. It caused him so much stress, he would still pee in the crate. I now live with mom and dad who have a dog. Now that he's not alone and he's getting older he is so much better. They do get better as they get older as long as you stick your guns.
Best of luck!
BTW- how is she doing? is her paw ok? |

| Brought her home last night and her paw is huge and swollen. The vet gave me some meds for it and he also said that he needs to slightly sedate her till it heals. And so she can come to turns with the damn crate. So i went a bought a hard plastic air line travel one last night. Put my 10 year old son in it and told him if he could get out of it i would give him $20. he tried everything. poor kid!!!! never got that 20 from me!!! so hopefully she cant break out of this one!!!The vet say try training classes, I told him that she is a very quick learner. I dont need classes. It only the crate. So i am calling around today to see if any of them will give me some ideas on what to do |

| I might suggest a higher-quality crate. I think your 10 year old could easily escape those flimsy things that I see at Petsmart. Our crate is over 20 years old and ordered from http://www.midwesthomes4pets.com/. I just looked at their site and I noticed that the floor pans are now plastic where ours is a tough steel. I keep saying "they just don't make 'em like they used to." However, I also noticed that you can find commercial quality crates online FOR A PRICE. No crate should have bent and broken and pierced a puppy's paw no matter how crazy the animal is acting!!!! This just further taught her that the crate is bad and it should not be. It should be her safe spot away from things that might hurt her or scare her!!
I'm on a soap bax against flimsy crates (that btw are NOT cheap in price!) so I will shut up!!
Well wishes for your poor, hurt baby! |

| I know I read in one of these threads that putting a sheet over the crate is more soothing and den-like for our pets. Storm seems to like the half bathroom on the main floor and he closes the door half way, which makes it dark. And since it's hard wood flooring, it's cool. Storm does like his crate and will go in to lay down in it on his own at night.
Question: Since Ginger's and Storm's crate are next to each other, I assume it would be totally OK if we threw a sheet over Storm's crate to make it more den-like, but does that matter that they now cannot see each other? Is that even better? Should I seperate their crates to different parts of the room?
