A Dog Crate is Not Jail
A friend of mine, knowing I sell dog crates, sent me this picture. It brought to mind the thought I hear from time to time and that is “a dog crate is like jail” for my dog.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Dog parents who over use the crate to house their dog, even when at home, may have created a “jail” environment. This is something that none of us want for our pets.
There are many reasons to provide your dog with his or her very own dog crate. If you have a dog with separation anxiety or a dog that is a “chewer” the dog crate is a way to improve quality of life for you, your dog and your family.
Many dogs are just fine when the family is out of the home all day. Many dogs are not. These are the dogs that will tear up-chew up-rip up-mess up anything they can. Even more important these are the dogs that will eat anything while the family is gone.
These are the dogs that appreciate their dog crate, their den, where they can rest and wait in safety and security until the family returns from their day out of the home.
If you don’t already own a dog crate then save yourself some money, save yourself some grief, do your dog a favor and get him or her their own crate.
This really happens folks. Whether it’s your new couch, your chairs or your drapes it can happen depending on the personality of your dog. Remember, A dog crate is not Jail!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your comment and yes, most dogs welcome their own place to rest or hide out if you will. It’s the “den” effect that’s still in their DNA. Personally I think that would be a great thing to have as a human. LOL All the best.
Bill Beavers Dog Crates´s last blog ..A Dog Crate is Not Jail
Fortunately our dog does not destroy anything but I think you are right because she does like to have a hiding place and a crate with some nice padding would probably work well for that.
