Does your dog like their cage?

[chrissycat21]

When training Snowy we always made her cage a 'good' place, it was never a place she had to go when being punished. And now, 2 1/2 years later, her cage is her favorite place in the world. She goes in there when she wants to go to sleep, when she is scared, she puts her toys in there, etc.

Are any of your dogs like that or do they not like their cages?

All three of mine like the cage. We only have one, which Simba and Nala no longer need. Kiara just goes in it to eat and while we're away.

[Aspen and Misty]

Breeze doesn't like her Kennel because she associates it with us leaving, and us leaving makes her REALLY upset. So, she doesn't like her Kennel to much, but Connor LOVES his kennel, it's his safty spot. The place he goes to sleep, to chew on toys, or just to sit and watch the other animals. He really loves his kennel!

If I am right,, I assume you mean cage as in crate? If so,, Yes,, Lucy loves her crate!!!

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Abby is not crated anymore, when we DID crate her, a few years back, she would go to the bathroom in it if we left her too long, because she has a little bit of seperation anxiety. If we'd keep her out, she's fine. She HATES her crate.

Buddy LOVES his, it's his "Safe Place"
Sierra.... she think's it's Okay It's her "Oh alright I'll go in my crate so I don't chew your house up again" place!!

[Samantha Puppy]

We only used it to keep Samantha in at night and if we'd go out. She hated it, even if I stayed right there in the room with her. She's just such a social dog, she hates being cut off. I took her in in late August 2002 and by the first weekend in November, I felt confident enough to let her loose at night. She's much happier now that she doesn't have to deal with that nasty crate anymore.

Meeka never had a crate... lol... but I dont think she would like one if she had one. Unless she grew up with it, then she might like it.

Clover and Elvis love their playpen i have set up for them at home (Elvis likes to chew household items ) all i have to say to them is "Crate" and they go strait in. At Flyball they have seperate crates and they love them aswell, it is somewhere they go when not out racing or going for a walk and they feel safe.

Penny and Theo hate using the crate at home but love hanging out in it at Flyball.

Smokey enjoys his crate. Sometimes he doesn't want to go in. But he does hang out in it on his own, too.

[Tonya]

Dusty and Roxy like their crate unless something interesting is going on. (Like when I try to crate them while there is company. They would rather socialize.) Sarah hates her crate. She becomes a savage beast when I put her in it. She reminds me of Linda Blaire from Exorcist when I put her in the crate. So, I just don't crate her. There really isn't a need to anyways.

Mickey loves his cage as well. He only uses it to sleep and when he was a pup, we stupidly used it as a place to put him when he did bad. We really just wanted it to be a way for him to know he was going to be ignored for awhile. Luckily he didn't associate it as a bad place and we stopped that method soon enough.

Sometimes when he wants to nap and there is activity around the house, he'll go in his cage because it's quiet and comfy in there.

Chloe and Charlie are both kennel shy, neither one of them could be crate trained. Anna and Arthur don't have kennels either, but we're going to get a couple just so they have someplace to go if they want a break.

As I said before, Snowy loves her cage. Its basicly her 'den'. She goes there at night time to sleep after she already takes a nap with me. My dad will just go 'Night-night Snowy!' and she runs in there.
