well, if they leave the puppy in the garage when they are GONE and when they are SLEEPING - i have one question.
what's the difference in a garage and a crate?
most people who know what they're doing use crates - is that cruel? obviously not since it's reccomended by professionals.
i do with my puppy exactly what was reccomended by trainers and my vet. she is in her crate any time i can't give constant supervision. i let her out anytime i am in the living room. i get her out to go outside and play. i even take her with me in the car most of the time. i also let her out to sleep with me (which is by NO means required) as the crate is reccomended for sleeping as well. point being - when i CAN'T watch her COMPLETELY and UNDIVIDED, i put her in her crate. why is a garage worse? |
