Carrie,
Thank You for a professional opinion on
"Crate Training". Always felt "gut level",
that confinement in a cage(for whatever
reason) was the wrong way to go about it..
Keeping the dog within boundries (baby gate)
while training was reasonable...
I was never taught this, but,I do believe
it. Yes, it's harder for the people at the
time, but in the long run better for the
dog as he/she becomes a full fledged member
of the human/dog pack ... That's my 2 cents
worth... Hbreka, I wish you luck with your
doggie!! She sounds like a real sweetie!!!
