Dog breaks out of crate?




To me, hor


Okay. Ive gotten the papers I need for my dogs and the papers from the shelter for the cats declawing, and the dog that has its ears cropped (done so by the breeder) I bought as adult. The 6 month PET home quarantine has begun, in-case the house sells we don't want to have to put a 6 month stipulation on it. I have started putting my old staff/lab mix into crate training. She was my first dog and i made the mistake of NOT crate training her. And now I am having major problems crate training her. She does have separation anxiety, but its normally just walking and pacing a whining around the house when im not home. She is 13 years old. I bought brand new plastic travel crates as at home I use the wire ones. The first time I put her in a wire crate, and left, she DEMOLISHED it. And was loose in the 30 mins it took me to run to town. So I opened her brand new plastic crate, and the next day i had to run to town it was 20 mins. She had ripped the little holes along the sides into bigger holes, and bent the crap out of the door enough she got it off. She is fine in the crate for hours when I am home. Or even outside in the yard. However when she hears the truck pull out of the drive. She goes bonkers. Help please?! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkTg._pyPZnX7Z4GJjefF6zsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120122003143AAphsZt


Answer
Well done for getting all of that horrendous paperwork out of the way. I would not put a 13-year-old dog in an airline crate for 12 hours without sedation (6 hours flying from mainland Canada to UK, plus handling time both ends). However, I don't know whether sedation is OK for a dog that age. You need to speak to a vet who specializes in travel medicine. Contact your shipping airline for further advice.

Re the crate, try muzzling her until she gets used to it. Or give her plenty of chew toys to keep her busy.

Chihuahua Dog Questions?




Hi.xDD


What is a nylabone used for? Sorry I'm new with dogs, *lol.
Should I get it a nylabone or a bone kong, or both?
& Should I buy it just ONE pack of training pads, after I'm not going to use it again.
I just need it for the day when I'm not home.
And what kind of toys should I get it...
Thank you in advance. :)
OKAY. I'll do my freaking research next time. :\
Okay, I think I'll just buy one pack of training pads.
& to eggopepper or w.e. my mom is staying home with it.



Answer
What is a nylabone used for?
A nylabone is used for satisfying your dogs chewing. Once your dog starts to teeth, it will want to chew and chew and chew. My dog is currently teething, and she likes to gnaw on the furniture. So I got her a nylabone. Her nylabone is chicken flavoured, but they have different flavouring. They have flavoured and none flavoured, but most dogs tend to go for the flavoured. Another solution is buying Bitter Apple Spray. I was recommended this, and it really works! In some Pet Stores you can find this in the Cat Section. It does not harm your dog, they just don't like the Bitter taste. So spray some on whatever you don't want your dog to chew on. When I was getting my Bitter Apple Spray, I also saw a Gel kind, it was Bitter Lime. Either one works i'm sure, but i've only had experienced with the Bitter Apple Spray.
Should I get it a nylabone or a bone kong, or both?
I recommend both. Your dog probably wouldn't get satisfied with just one toy. There are also different kinds of kongs. There are different sizes, and different ones used for different things. There are the regular ball shaped kinds, teething kongs, bone kongs, etceterra. Small, medium, big. There are also different colours, i've seen blue, red, and pink. You could stuff the kong with your dog's favourite treat! :) I use a little bit of peanutbutter.
The nylabones also come in different kinds. Different flavours. I've seen bacon and chicken, and i've seen ones that arent flavoured. Different shapes. I've seen one shaped like a drumstick, (or something :P) and I've seen one shaped like a bone. From what I understand there is also edible and not edible. There is also different sizes for different dogs. And different kinds for every kind of chewer (such as powerful chewers and average chewers.) All of the nylabones control tartar and are veterinarian recommended.
Kongs are also veterinarian recommended.
Should I buy it just ONE pack of training pads, after I'm not going to use it again.
Well, you already said you were just going to take the dog out and get a sweater and booties. ;)
So i'll just skip this question.. LMAO
And what kind of toys should I get it...
Take a look at the Pet Store and buy a variety, especially if your going to crate him. Some squeaky toys, soft toys, stuffed animals (my dog LOVES webkinz, LOL), chew toys (the kongs and nylabones), etceterra. :P Don't give your dog rawhides though, they aren't good for dogs.

Eyes of a Warrior: Just for the 'heads up' your answer will probably get deleted. Telling her to research doesn't answer her question. How do you even know if she's been researching or not? I don't know why people are going around answering just for the points.. my goodness.

ADD:
Also make sure to clean the Kong, you don't want bacteria building up.
