I should add- I want her to get used to sometimes being contained. She's small and this is NYC, so I can take her a lot of places, provided she is quiet and well behaved. She needs to learn that sometimes she can be out and about in public (clothing stores, bodegas, etc) and other times she needs to be calm and not bark (Duane Reade, Whole Foods, a dance class). Her thrashing about so hard she managed to open her crate does not indicate to me this will be easy for her to learn! |
