The only reason I haven't is that I want her to like the crate and not associate it with a punishment. The lid is cracked, he can see out, breath fine and it's plenty big enough...
| Well ok, I have to admit I erased my initial post after I thought about it and figured that, I am not there, obviously shes right there, its not a locking lid shes just having picture fun etc., but I have to admit, in the gentlest nicest way possible I don't think putting him in a box like that is a proper punishment, I think some folks would liken it to putting a child in a closet, this is not a room its a box. Perhaps op can train him to go in his "home" (crate) when she points and say "go home"...my pups sometimes run in their crate when they know they benn Miss Baddies on their own, the door is open almost 98% of the time, they go in there for snoozes, to chill, they take their treats in there to eat them, its their own private little den, they don't view it as punishment its theirs. I have a soft house I purchased at a drugstore in my living room for each as well, sometimes they prefer that, either way when the crap hits the fan...they know where to go!
OP please don't take it personal, remember all we see is a pic....it is cute but could also be dangerous and viewed by some as harsh.... |
