Keeping Dog in Kennel

[kallisto4529]

Reilly is in a crate for about 8 hrs when both my husband and I are working, he does great in it, when we are home he is always out of it. We can't wait for the day that he is able to not have to go in it unless he just wants to, but it is not safe for him right now, he is only 11wks old and is into everything, and he loves wires!!!!!!

i love crates! i recommend them to all who are unsure of what their pets will do at home alone!
My 3 labs are in their crates sometimes 8 hours aday! Sure it does seem like alot but i'd rather know their safe in their kennel with a bone to keep them occupied other then not knowing what could be happening to my house...or even if they find somethin bad for them and they eat it!
I'd rather be safe then sorry!

I think you should leave the cage door open so later on in the day she can get out and stretch her legs.
