I couldn't agree with you more, SoCal! that's the number one reason i asked this question because i do NOT believe in crating. That's fine if it works for some people, but i personally have never been able to leave my pets in crates. My dogs sleep in my bed with me (for all old-school trainers, i do let my dogs know they are NOT the alpha-males during the day and it is a special privilege. They do not get to eat people food or do everything the way people do!)
When i am gone for many hours, i confine them to the bedroom. |
