[NAGDU] Crosses

[Sandra Johnson]

Hi,  I agree with Tracy.  I got my first dog in 1975.  Then none of the 
schools used crates.  The puppy raiser was supposed to teach the puppy 
proper behavior in the house.  A puppy or an adult dog cannot learn when it 
is always stuffed into a crate.

Personally, I put part of the blame on the crate training that's all the 
rage these days.  Can't watch the puppy?  Put him in his crate, and forget 
about it.  So the puppy doesn't learn to behave without someone keeping a 
close eye on it every minute.  Not a fan of crate training.  Seems more like 
crate not-training to me.

Hi Tracy,


I am only on my first guide dog, so can't compare several dogs. But my
dog is a pure lab and had all of Krokus' habits in the early days. It
took a lot of patience and time to teach him how to behave in the house
but it worked well.

I'd say rather than being a cross thing, it's a matter of socialization.
Obviously, the family where Taylor grew up before he started training
wasn't so keen on good house manners. But I don't know what it's like in
the US, where the puppies are before they start proper training.
