Thanks for the input kismet. I didn't buy any crates, yet. I'm a tiny bit torn as a lot of books recommended the plastic crates over the metal ones. But I'm thinking I'll get both as planned, it's just a matter of using both as crates in the house or one as a normal crate and one as a travel crate.
But if any one else has any other thoughts I'd appreciate them! |
No prob on the book advice, that one is, by far, the best one I've come across. And it's never too early to start training! They can start to learn things at as early as 9 weeks!
Also, about the crate, Scooter came in a plastic crate (he was shipped) and I just kept using that one as his night time crate, then we just use fluffy beds around the house when we're in different rooms. We have never used - or needed - a wire crate on top of his plastic one. He uses that one for sleeping, travelling, whatever! You may still want a different set-up, but this is what worked for us!
