[NAGDU] Crosses

> I would put most of the blame on the owner not the crate. Crates are great, but they are not intended to be used as a place to put the dog at all times. My dog is only in the crate under certain circumstances. Some dogs like the crate. It's a safe haven. I have a dog that is over-zealous when people come to visit. Some time in the crate eliminates the issue of my dog's attempt to jump on people. After friends or family are here a while, my dog is taken out of the crate. As long as no one rials her up, she does fine.


It's a matter of preference. Some people never use a crate, though they do tie their dogs down. There are times when we might crate our dogs. Even when I leave home, my dog doesn't need to be crated. She likes going to it and has since I've had her.

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.
