It was just so much stress for all involved. I definitely worry about if they ran off or got loose in an accident though.
It's similar to the argument of crating vs not crating at home. On one hand, leaving a dog in a crate would make for easier removal by a fireman if there was a fire. But on the other, leaving them loose allows them to have a chance to run as far away from the fire as possible. It's like damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The Sleepypods (I think?) look pretty safe. Any next puppy of mine will trained to a restraint from a young age so they don't know any different. Also would love to be able to fly with my next dog so would want them to be able to travel comfortably in a carrier. Jackson is likely too big to fit under a plane seat but he'd be stressed out with it as he's never been crated before. |
Joey used to get so pissed off as a puppy when he would be leashed or tethered it was actually kinda funny but he grew out of it. It’s hard to make decisions for these little beings there are times it’s like it sucks either way or you feel judged or really anything. I have learned many lessons the hard way with these pups luckily nothing life or death. Sometimes it helps to get opinions on it and some of times it makes you crazy not knowing which way to go.
