dog crates 100 lbs image
chris
I have a German Shepherd puppy. Videos that I have been watching say that I should get a dog crate wherein my dog can stand sit and turn. I've been thinking that if I do get such a size, my dog's growth will stop because of the crate. Also, German Shepherds are large bred dogs. What will happen when it grows up? I find it too expensive to buy a crate everytime the dog grows bigger.
Answer
It will not restrict his size. He might be uncomfortable in a crate that is too small AND you should never leave him in there for too long. My bullmastiff has the largest crate we could buy (even through special order). He now is too big for it, but still sleeps in it every night with the door open...voluntarily. I would never leave him in it for long, but if I can't put him outside when I leave for short periods of time due to weather, etc, I will close the door. He can still stand up and turn around in it, but I would never leave him in there for more than an hour or two...and he LIKES the cage.
As far as restricting growth...as I said before, it won't. My dog is now over 100 lbs...I do not think his growth has been restricted in the slightest.
Buy the largest one you can buy...german shepherds are not as big as bullmastiffs, but they are still very large. If he seems to like it more cozy, divide off part of the crate so the area is smaller while he is still little. My dog didn't care wither way.

How can I stop my new dog from bothering my other dog?
help pleas
We recently adopted a (98 lb. 7 year old) Giant Schnauzer *sp* We have two other dogs a terrier and english bulldog. Everything seems to be going fine besides the fact the new dog is obsessed with our male terrier's private area.(both are neutered males). This is causing the terrier to become very annoyed and cranky.(growling,snipping) Does anyone know how to fix this?
Answer
honestly, when our puppy starts bothering her big brothers too much, or our 16 yr old cat, we just intervene and tell her to stop. if she continues she gets a timeout in her chair until she settles down.
letting them work it out is rarely a good idea. our pup is 15 lbs and the older dogs are up to 100.
crating can work, but i hate to use it for a punishment.
