Does any one know where I can get a inexpensive dog crate at?

Q. My Great Dane pup is out growing the large breed crate we have. I want to get the one for his breed but it is $250 at Feeder Supply and I was wondering if any one knows where is may be at for a little cheaper??
I's really prefer a new one I don't want another dogs scent in it.

Answer
You can order from JB Pet Supply. Crates are on sale right now too 15% off. The Great Dane size is $135.99. MidWest are some of the sturdiest crates too. JB's doesn't charge large/heavy item freight. I order all my crates from them for that reason. You might be able to order one someplace else a pinch cheaper, but the heavy freight charges end up making it more expensive in the long run.
Hope this helps.

How do I get my roommate's dog to not hate me?

ThirdDegre

My roommate has been a good friend of mine for a while, and due to convenient circumstance I got to move in with her. It's a good setup so far, but the only real problem I have is with her dog.
I'm an animal person in general, but this one is an ugly, yappy little dachsund/chihuahua/Jack Russell mix who trusts no one but my friend. She has had several owners, and was probably abused at some point in the six years of her life. For this reason, my roommate refuses to get rid of her at all, but she has no time in her life to correct the dog's behavior.
I figured I could just put up with her when I was home, but that's not an option. She's not housebroken. She has severe separation and general anxiety. Roommate and I have stepped out for twenty minutes to go get food, making sure to take the dog out before we leave, and we come back to giant puddles and turds on the floor. Once she even broke into a closed room, raided through the clothes, and ate through three pairs of pants. One of them was mine.
Roommate explained that she was just "acting out" because she wasn't used to me being there. We got the dog a crate, which has helped, but every time I let her out when Roommate is at work, I can't even get the dog to go out. She cowers on the couch and submissively urinates there, which is disgusting. I don't even raise my voice or anything, I use a very friendly coaxing tone, but because I'm not her 'mama' she just lays down and voids her bowels where she is.
I understand by her body language that I'm viewed as a threat. I feel sorry for the thing, but I don't feel inclined to make friends with her. I also can't take on the responsibility of potty training her myself, since I don't have the time to do so (this would be my roommate's responsibility, if she'd ever step up to do so). I don't need her to like me, but if I'm going to live here I need to get it to the point where I can at least get her to go outside and do her business without having to drag her out by the harness.

tl;dr - Roommate's dog hates me and will only poop/pee outside for her. HELP.
Great advice so far, thank you all - I should definitely include that I was exaggerating when I said "drag her out by the harness." I have not dragged her anywhere, but I was so perplexed at how to get her to follow me out that that was the only scenario I could come up with, and it was not ideal...

Answer
Well, she IS a Doxie/Chi/JRT mix... Those 3 breeds together, mixed with the wrong type of owner, equals a freakishly neurotic animal. Professional training is probably the only hope she has at becoming more self-confident. She's had a rough life and obviously has issues... Meds will only help her so far, but consistent training should help her realize her potential. Also, all three breeds are "working" dogs, so if you can find some sort of "job" for her to do, it may help relieve some of her anxiety. Plus, any JRT mix needs lots of exercise, and it doesn't sound like she's getting nearly enough for her to burn up the excess energy she has, which is only contributing to the problem. Your friend either needs to make time in her life to focus on the dog's needs or find a good home for her to go to.
