Looking for advice on dog crates for extra large dogs.?




stanleyand


I have 100 pound German Shepard. His current crate is heavy duty plastic with a wire front. He has bent the wire in the front enough where he can now push his way out and escape. I am looking for a heavy duty crate for a dog this size, one that is very strong and guaranteed not to let the dog escape! Thanks!


Answer
Try an all wire crate. The plastic crate is more in closed and its easier for him to get leverage to push on the door. I find the wire crates to be much better. I've always used them for my dogs, and I've had some pretty big dogs. Never any escapes. I find the doors on wire crates are more secure than the plasic ones. I don't think you can get a create that will guarantee your dog will not escape, give a wire one a try though. Make sure the wires/bars are thick enough.

Dog crating?

What is "crating" a dog. I've never heard of this before, it sounds awful, especially for the larger dogs. I've never known a single person to "crate" their dogs. What is the purpose of it.
Sounds like a kennel, but they are in the backyard. I assume crates are for those which live in apartments. No way would I leave my dog stuck indoors all day with just a space for them to turn around in.



Answer
Crating a dog is simply training him to stay in his crate. The crate is like a plastic or wire "dog house" that the dog can move around in and see out of. A lot of dogs like to have the crate as a place to retire to when everything gets hectic and he's had enough. They bury their treats there and bring in toys to keep from other dogs.

People usually crate their dog either to sleep at night or if they are not going to be home and do not want the dog having the run of the house. Sometimes it as used as a little room to put the dog when visitors are afraid of the dog.
Some people use a crate to transport the dog to shows in the car. This is for safety.

Sound awful, but some dogs actually like having a space of their own! The crate comes in different sizes and you would get it for the size of your breed as an adult. The dog should be able to stand up and turn around in the crate.

It is a temporary place for the dog and should not take the place of being with the owner.
