I don't know about you all, but the thought of doggy daycare upsets me. As a
child, I never went to daycare; I just can't see dropping my dog off with a
bunch of other dogs and some other person to watch and "raise." This person is
deciding what behavior is appropriate for MY dog, and correcting what they
don't like. They have the potential to undo my training, or to allow things I
don't.
More importantly, dog daycare don't take intact dogs (at least not the ones in
Cleveland), and there's no way I'd send my show dog to a daycare facility, with
unknown dogs, to play freely. There's enough posts on this board about people
whose own dogs took a piece off some body part, I don't want some dog whose not
a part of my pack to take a swipe at any of my boys.

There is obviously a happy medium. Maybe her dogs are too long in the crate and
that is why he is tearing them up, only the owner would know. And if she
doesn't know why her dog is doing it, he may be spending to much time on his
own and she needs to pay attention to him and see whats up. My dogs are all
crate trained and I totally believe all of them need to learn not only crate
training but tolerence and they generally like to go into an open one for a nap
now and again. Usually at bed time, my 4 are?in the house?with me, I am home
alone alot and they are usless to me when crated or outside. 2 of my girls
fight so they have to be seperated, so when all are in the house those 2 take
turns in the crate. Or in good weather, 1 is outside when the other is in. Lots
of solutions in this world pick one that works.
Crate training is a wonderful tool and often a life saver. Good judgement is
good judgement and that seems to me to be the problem, not the crates. Look and
see if the dog is to long in the crate and if he is, step up to the plate and
take care of the problem. Doggie daycare was suggested, that could be an answer.
Hey is this what we are supposed to be arguing about??? It is sometimes hard to
keep up with the schedule! I thought it was time for German vs American?

and hours on end. The only time my dogs were crated was at dog shows
and I never had a dog that
liked a crate. Nancy G.

I'd have to say if dog's had their 'druthers', they'd prefer to be able to
exercise, eliminate and nibble grass at will. The only time my dogs are
crated is in my van for their protection and at a show... though they are
always lying at my feet at ring side whenever possible. In 45 ' runs during
the day with access to a heated kennel building and watching TV with me in
the evenings. Right now, I've got 6 spralled around my bedroom floor.
Happy dogs, lucky me.
