I crate my dogs for piece of mind. I don't want them to get into something when I am gone that could possibly hurt them. I have found both my dogs chewing on cords when I am home so I am sure they would try to do it when I am not home. I have a friend that had a daschund. She was 3 years old and not crated when they left the home. They came home from a night out to find their precious dog HANGING from the blinds. All she was doing was looking out the window and got tangled up. You never know what can happen so I would rather keep them safe in a cage when I am not home. |
