Cave or Open? What do your puppies prefer? A closed home, like a plastic carrier, or an open one like a wire crate? |
Ziggy hates both!lol.. but we have the plastic carrier type |
1 Attachment(s) Here's Zhoie's "house" and she loves it. I believe it's her safe haven, when she wants downtime, or if I'm leaving and tell her she can't go...she'll run to her house ;) |
I just feel like a plastic one would feel more secure, unless you covered the metal one like you did. |
Zhoie has had this since we brought her home. I ordered it before she came to us the the cover that ties on, so you can take it off if you want. When I wash it, she runs to the dryer and does her yorkie circles as I tie it back on...so I know she loves it. I have a plastic carrier type for her, just in case I need a rush to the vet or something and don't want her handled...but when I put her in it...her eyeballs are hugh, it's like she gets freaked out or something. LOL |

My boys don't really use their crates, but they prefer the wire over the plastic. Max has a strong aversion to plastic. Teddy slept in his when I first brought him home and I put a towel over the top. |

But if I'm leaving the house, he goes in his ex-pen. |
My dogs prefer my bed so thats where they sleep. |

Zhoie sleeps with us, but if I leave the house, I just don't see her liking not being in her house. We had an x-pen up when she was a pup and I had to run out or something, but she would still gravitate to her house. Working from home, I'm never gone very long and even if I leave the door open, she is still there when I come back. I actually have to say "ok" when I come home and then she'll come running. Funny how they develop their own little quirks ;) We did get the folding travel x-pen and that worked out great for vacation. |
My Yorkies all have wire crates. I think they are more versatile. They can be belted in the car. Ued covered or open. I like the removable tray it is easy to clean if accidents happen. When uncoverd the puppy can see what is going on and you can observe the puppy. The Vet uses a wire crate as a hospital room. When used as a sick room, it can be easily wiped down with disinfectant and the patient can be seen. Covered it provides a safe private little cave. I also have a plastic carry crate for vet visits. |
We have purchased a wire one for our soon to be Yorkie. I want to have a cover made or make one myself. I'm not sure how to make a cover, but I'd love to do it on my own so I could make it match or theme. Zhoie's space is adorable! |

I do love having his house up for him. It's his place and he goes there when he needs a break from me, or to hide his treasures. (toys) I'll post a pic a little later. I had to take his old tent down and he has a new one. I dint have pics of that yet. |
3 Attachment(s) I have pictures! I love his new house and so does he. :) Attachment 353685 Attachment 353686 Attachment 353687 Excuse the "artsy" pictures. I've been playing with my camera, trying to learn all it's functions. This was the color accent mode, and it only shows the color brown. His house is actually blue with brown paw prints all over. |
