[nagdu] crate vs tie-down

[Tina Thomas]

Tracy- I have both a crate and a tie down in my house. As far as discipline
it is the handler's responsibility to make sure the dog is well behaved and
under control at all times.

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
