Going inside

I wonder about the owners myself. I don't know them personally, but unfortunately, you only get their side of the story. I wish dogs could talk.

Thank you for the advice. I'll pass it on. One question though - I've heard both things about crates - some say it should be small, some say larger for them to move around. If a dog is in it almost 8 hours a day (which in my opinion is too long), shouldn't it be a bigger crate? Will the small crate for that many hours stunt it's growth?

The crate should be large enough for the dog to stand, and to turn around, but not so large that it can see one side as "okay to pee" and one side as not. Does that make sense?

Absolutely. Thank you Karen. And thank you all for your help. I'll pass this on and hopefully, things will work out. I'll keep you posted.
