I've nver been a fan of locking a dog in a cage for any length of time. Just doesn't seem natural. Your entry would make a great play room while your gone and if he's pad trained it would be even better. My three sleep downstairs in the kitchen/breakfast area. They have their water, pee-pads, some toys and a their chews. Dogs don't go to sleep and stay asleep all night. They take naps, they play, they drink, then nap and so on, so the room is comfortable for them and they are much happier. We have the baby monitor so we can hear them if anything goes wrong. |
