[nagdu] crate vs tie-down

[Tracy Carcione]

I am well aware that discipline is my problem.  It just seems to me that my 
dogs who grew up with tie-downs had a better understanding of how they 
should behave when not confined than crate-trained Krokus.  Now, that might 
be luck, or poor memory, or just that they weren't confined a lot so learned 
how to behave themselves.
Whatever, Krokus is beginning to remember the house manners I'm sure he used 
to know, or getting the idea that I don't want him picking up everything.
I've ordered a crate, even though I don't really want one.  I can use it 
when I can't supervise him, until he settles.  Then I can fold the stupid 
thing away except for the odd occasion I might need it, like if I have to 
leave him home alone.

He did not pick up things much at TSE, and was usually free in my room, but 
my room there was much more spartan than my house, which has a few low 
tables or shelves with stuff on them. Shocking, I know.
