Baxter has a wonderful crate I bought for him. It is from Port-A-Crate and it has been working wonders! When I first brought Baxter home, I tried to keep him in his crate overnight. He whined and cried and hated it. So I let him sleep with me.
Every time I left to go somewhere, I would put Baxter in his crate. My roommates said he would cry, but gradually he has stopped. They say he whines for a few minutes, then stops and goes to sleep. (I don't let them take him out if I'm only gone for an hour or two.) When I would get home, I would take him outside immediately. This has helped SO MUCH in his potty training.
Now I keep his crate door open, and he will go in there to sleep ALL THE TIME. Like right now, he is in there sleeping. He loves it!
Well... the other day I went out, and when I came back, Baxter was out of his crate. I look at it, and there is a massive HOLE right by the zipper. He can slip right out of his crate anytime I put him in it. Now I don't know what to do. Should I buy him another crate? I just feel like he is so attached to his... I don't want to throw it away. Maybe I could have two crates? And if I do buy another crate, any suggestions on one's that he can't bite/scratch/dig out of?
Thanks for any help guys!
