My last foster Vlad, even though he purportedly was not aggressive ppl or dogs, was crated in fact my whole pack was on a crate and rotate. He got introduced to the puppy BRT first - she is a female and was a young puppy. He also got to play with her once he showed that he was amenable to young puppy antics. It took almost 4wks before he could walk by Magics crate with-out growling going on, and for sure they were not introduced outside their crates until this stopped (which it did). He also was very protective at night, and he charged my sister one evening, and also growled at my husband. So at night he was crated. He also was not housebroken either!

| I am not arguing against crating....and yes, I believe that an aggressive dog needs limits for his protection and the other pups in the house...along with the human. I happen to have helped a few biters through their issues and absolutely did use crates and/or separate rooms for them. I will say however that some dogs cannot be crated and will injure themselves and/or DIE in a crate. One must always supervise and determine whether the dog is handling the situation. I once had someone apply for one of my foster pups who had separation anxiety....no clue why they wanted him because they had had one. That one had been put in a crate while they went out and he died....they said he was flailing about when they left, but that they were told that was the safest place for him. Sounded like perhaps he needed medicine ... but certainly could not handle the crate. My son adopted one from me that flipped his wig in crates...it was awful. Nothing is ever etched in stone.

Puppies need training and observation all throughout their puppyhood, and crate training is no different. Foster parents and folks who adopt re-homed dogs need to be prepared for a whole host of things, for the simple fact that very often much is not known about the history of the dog. Some dogs freak out over a leash, or a collar, or being told to Sit. Some dogs have terrible food aggression, or fear aggression, some dogs can't stand the vet, or to travel in a car. IMO it is the responsibility of the rescue agency to thoroughly provide a complete information packet for the potential adopter/fosterer of all nature and manner of things for that particular dog. And certainly one of the things I would expect a rescue agency to do is to completely evaluate the dog which would include their response to a crate and or Xpen, prior to placing a dog in a home.

Oh, Linda, your description of sitting with and paying for a vet tech to sit with a poor, frightened dog at the vet just fills my heart and re-affirms in my mind what a special lady ladyjane is for any troubled dog who comes her way. God bless you and that blessed Yorkie Haven Rescue.
