she is a pitbull, and i have a padlock on the dog crate,but that does'nt help,wat do i do.

Answer
Make the crate a better experience for her. Maybe she's feeling separation anxiety but dogs by nature are den animals, they like to have dens or a safe place. Throw treats in there all the time so she goes in there looking for treats, never force her in. Put her in there for short periods of time and sit there with her, talk to her, put in an item of your clothing to remind her of you. Feed her in there so she associates it as a good place. Give her kongs in there. Is it too big or too small? Maybe she's uncomfortable. It might take a while for her to really get comfortable in there, how old is she? Or why do you put her in the crate? Maybe she needs more exercise? If she's old enough I might suggest putting her somewhere else until she really sees the crate as a happy place.

Is it ok to leave my dogs in their crates?

I have a 8 month old ridgeback/rottweiler, and a 10 month old rottweiler. We live in an 1000 square foot apartment, with a huge deck. They used to stay in their crates when I went to work, but recently we thought we could leave them in the bedroom during the day. They were doing fine at first, but I came home today and they had chewed on the cable wire. I think I need to put them back in their crates. Their crates used to be in the bedroom, but it got so cramped. I was wondering if it would be ok to put them in their crates on the deck. The deck is covered, and has a wicket fence around it, and a net above it. WE live in San Diego, so its not cold or anything. Is it mean to leave dogs in crates? They get plenty of excercise, they go to the dog park for 1 hour a day, and I run them each 15 min a day, and walk them 30 min a day. Plus they have tons of toys, and they have their kongs, with treats. They play all night w/ each other.

Answer
Not if it is more than 4 hours a day.. And certainly not on the deck! Why don't you put them in the kitchen with some chew toys?
