dog crates made in usa image
Monica
She has lots of food/water/toys and the garage is cooled. I tried spraying diluted Tobasco on the wall - but it wears off quickly.
I rather have her tied up outside while I'm at work instead of the crate all day. My other dog is bigger and housebroken, so he gets the run of the house while I'm at work while the pup is outside. Is the puppy lonely?
Answer
Make what you want the puppy to leave alone, taste horrible!
I use cayenne pepper powder. You could spray soapy water on it, then dust it (with a puffer bottle) while wet. That should make the powder adheer better. You may have do do this a few times, but with my older (1yo) dog, it only took 1 or 2x.
This doesn't necessarily smell bad, but it does hurt, without harming them. They will tend to remember pain better than an unpleasant odor...
Don't stop there, though. Be sure to provide the puppy with several other, APPROVED items to chew on! Teach it that ou LIKE whe it chews on those items, by prasing it when it gives them any attention. I put my dog's dry kibble in a sturdy PVC bottle, & taught them to extract the food from it. That takes them about an hour... There is the "Kong" toy that is made of Very Strong rubber (the black one is strongest), which you can put some sticky food inside, which the dog has to lick out. The correct size of "Kong" makes an ideal chew toy!
Is there some reaswon why you can't leave your other dog in the yard with the puppy? They are pack animals, & prefer company. Especially a very young puppy! It needs a parent figure to bond with. The adult dog can discipline the pup, like its parent would. (Assuming that the two dogs get along OK together.) I once had a litter of pups that had to be raised buy the father, because the mother (she'd been a stray) was so immature that she was very rough with her pups, as though she was one of them! They were very young yet, & would hide from her between my legs. So, once they were weaned, I kept the pups w/ their father in another yard. He was an excellent 'Papa Dog'!
I think it's England that has a law against having only one pet, as it's considered inhumane to make them spend long periods of time alone, cats included (even though they aren't pack animals).
In CA-USA it is against the law to leave a dog tied for over 3 hrs per day, as that is considered inhumane (unless you're using a long line between poles to tie its 'leash' to, where it run back & forth, & can move around a lot *without getting tangled* up).
I'm sure you know that the pup needs to be kept where it can't get into any trouble (like chewing through electric wires). If outside is your only option, & the other methods I've suggested aren't enough, you might want to install some kind of electric fence. I have one (to keep 1 of our dogs from going over, but they can be installed near the ground, too, provided you keep plants from touching them).
I hope the two dogs are able to spend the time you're away, *together with each other*. They should both benefit from the companionship!
EDITED IN 5 hrs LATER:
I got your email. So, you keep the pup *inside* the garage? I was thinking you might put an electric fence around the outside, as I thought that was where it had access to the paint.
You might want to try EFT. I've used it on both physical & emotional issues for my family & our pets---successfully. The instructions are free online. Here's a site that will direct you to them, as well as an explanation of what EFT is:

I'm flying with my dog in Cargo I've read online about something called the crate mate, where can I get one?
bk
We're flying USA 3000, from Tampa to Detroit, in about 3 weeks. The "Crate Mate" thing is supposedly made of heavy duty backpack like material that bolts to the dogs crate, it holds all paperwork required to fly, and spare water and food, in case of any problems. I read about it on this website: http://www.bcrescue.org/flying.html
Answer
First, let me start by saying that I read the article on which you were referring to. I can't say that I found it the least bit correct or even educational. It is full of garbage. A few things I found completely incorrect were:
Try to get a wide-body plane. Ask what type of plane you'll be flying in. If you don't know which plane is which, then ask them if it is a wide-bodied jet (for instance, a 767 isn't - it's a cigar, a DC-10 is). A 767 is a wide body aircraft. Most airlines do not even fly the DC 10s anymore...they are being phased out with 767 or 777 aircraft.
I always keep my dog until about 25 minutes until the plane's scheduled to take off. Don't let them push you into taking your dog earlier than that. If you do this, you will miss your flight...it takes time to get through security and to your gate. And the cut-off time to board is 10 minutes before departure.
You could tip the guy that is taking your dog. I always have given the guy a few dollars, saying that he is supposed to take good care of this dog. I don't know if it has helped, but it certainly can't hurt. Don't tip...we are just doing our job. And if you are shipping your dog via cargo, you have already paid us.
Ok, now that I have said that, let me explain something to you. The air cargo facility should package all of your papers neatly together for you and seal them in a plastic bag on the outside of the crate. I don't recommend bringing spare water. Most places have free water (water fountains and such). And if you are shipping your dog via cargo, upon arrival at your destination, the air cargo facility will be more than willing to give your animal some water. As for the food, I have seen many people ziploc a bag full of dog food and try taping it to a crate. These bags always rip or fall off. Trust me...I deal with it all the time. The best solution to you is that you pack a small bag in your checked luggage or just buy it when you get to your destination. If you feel the need to bring some, then I would recommend you finding a plain ole fanny pack and fill it with dog food pellets. You can also put the leash in there and strap it to the crate. I wouldn't waste time or alot of $$$ with a "crate mate". It will just become something you may not need or use in the future. At least with the fanny pack, you can still use it on walks for treats and such.
And one last thing about that article and then I'll be quiet. Most baggage handlers love pets. We see them everyday. We want you and your animal to get there safely and very comfortably. If you do not want anyone to feed or give water to your animal, write, "Please do not feed me". I recommend you put your animal's name on the outside of the crate. We will call your dog by their name and they will feel like they have friends when you are not around. We will keep your pet out of the heat (and most airlines do have pet embargos during the hot/cold times of the year). We will not "forget" to put your dog in the heated part of the cargo hold. That is just ridiculous.
I hope that something I have said will help you in your journey and have a great flight.
