I use the crates for puppy training and then once they're
trained only for emergency purposes. For my terriers I have
the travel kind, which they seem to like because they're more den
like. For my Collie though, I got a wire crate. One because it's
so big, I wanted one that easily folded up to be put away.
And two because it seems more important to him to be able
to watch everything that's going on. As it is he's not too thrilled,
if I leave the room and he doesn't get to go. He has more
freedom now, that he's older and housebroken, and he just
about wears himself out trying to keep track of me, murph and
maddie, if we're not all three in the same room. Must be that
protective herding instinct kicking in, wanting to keep all of his
flock in one spot.
