All of my dogs past and present have liked their crates.
When I lived on acreage I had a crate room, and a number of crates, and if
the dogs were in the house they often would go to the crate room and into
their own crate.
I now have one dog. She has a bed on the floor and also a crate in my
bedroom. She chooses where she is going to sleep, often it is in the open
crate, sometimes on her bed and occasionally on my bed (she is a bed
hog...LOL)
A story about crates that I sent to the list a number of years ago. This has
to do with people in general thinking crating dogs is cruel.
We were driving home from a dog show. We stopped at a drive in to order some
food. We happened to park next to a big rig. The driver of that truck gave
us some dirty looks as we opened up all the van doors, and he could see the
dogs crated. I stayed at the van while my husband placed the order.
When my husband walked back the trucker made remarks to him about the dogs
and how cruel we were and he should report us .
My husband was angry, but he kept his cool. He told the trucker, "I see you
have a big rig and a big load on your truck". The guy said " Ya, so what?"
My husband continued with "you also have your load tied down. These dogs are
my "load" and they are important to me, keeping them crated is the way I
keep my load tied down."
The truck driver quickly seemed to loose his anger and then apologized. I
guess he learned something new about dogs in crates that day.
