I'm not clear why anyone would keep an animal in a cage, just train them to stay in their bed and take them out for a walk two or three times a day, or as often as they need. I think zoo animals are allowed out and are no longer kept in cages of small dimentions, why folks think dogs want to be kept in individual cages is beyond me. My cat is free to come and go, but often chooses to sleep on my duvet. I'd only have him in a cage for medical reasons, and it would be a pretty big cage, with facilties en suite.

You’ve obviously never trained a dog that has designs on being the Alpha male in the pack. Crate training is a widely recognised and successful method of getting an unruly dog to learn boundaries and understand their place within the pack. When I can be arsed I will post some pictures on a new thread of where a pup from the wrong side of the tracks starts crate training and where they finish up as a well trained loving family companion.

Freya is not permitted to go upstairs..she sleeps in a cage...she is penned for several hours a day.. I love her but she lives in my world not me in hers with dog ownership comers responsibility..what i allow her to do has to be ok in the future... so far have more or less got it right...I think.... she is very funny with son who is not so strict and as for daughter she gets very excited and pees on her feet!..that is (for the hard of understanding) dog pees on daughters feet...... Deep down I'd love to let her upstairs, on the bed but then she would never accept the pen as a place to go. Keep at it Patty, eventually they come to see the crate/cage as their sanctuary - some will eventually do away with the need of it, some would rather keep it as their space for good. I knew an incredibly well trained working Spaniel gun dog bitch that used to take herself off to her crate when our idiot mongrel came round to visit - he was most certainly not allowed in her space and all the while she stopped in there he couldn’t piss her off!

She likes her crate...when Ants n I work on the van she goes in no bother...she has too as leaving her in the house with all his tools, electric wiring, plastic connectors etc is a complete no no. She also goes in if grandson here and having his tea as he is not quite as good at stopping her from helping herself It means I can visit son in Brum who doesn't like dogs as I'll have a crate delivered there for her...it saves the silliness that some folk indulge in with 'fear' of large dogs. When she goes in she always has a handful of her dog meal..its quite funny really as she skids in there as fast as she can as soon as she sees I have the food.

Taff lives free in both the house and the boat, Hugo has a cage in both places, he happily goes into the cage on his own its his place and he knows it. It was a trust issue at the beginning but nowadays its just his home.
