[nagdu] crate vs tie-down

[Cindy Ray]

Tracy, I get that. In a way though, I would think the dog is more
comfortable in a crate. I have no more room, of course, becaue I have a big,
honkin' crate for Libby our big pet, and a little one for Isabel. Fisher
loves the crate even though he doesn't use it. Tie down is much less space
unfriendly for sure.

Subject: [nagdu] crate vs tie-down

I really hate this crate-training only business.  My dogs who grew up with
tie-down, or used it in class, did not grab everything they could reach. 
They had some idea of self-discipline.  I am buying a crate, under protest,
because I'm just tired of having to constantly watch Krokus and see if he's
got hold of something he shouldn't.  There's no where in my house I can tie
him down totally out of reach of anything.  This was never a problem before.

I wanted to try tie-down in class, but my trainer always forgot to give me
an extra tie-down, and the one I was issued was too short to actually use.
So now I have to get a big honking crate, and find a place to put the stupid
thing. I am not happy.
Tracy
