I think if you know your dog, then it's OK. Jackson has never been a destroyer of anything when we're not home (when are home, different story...) lol. And has never once had an accident or chewed anything while we were away. So he's had free roam since 4 months old. We started in a crate, then moved to ex-pen, but he's just never bothered anything so it works for us. Some dogs aren't like this though. |
