Hi, Tracy.

All three of my GDF dogs have been very comfortable with a tie-down. My first dog hated crates, but Caroline didn't care either way, and Ace doesn't seem to either. I never had room for a huge crate, and have always been happy with the tie down option.

Good luck crate shopping.

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.
