Barnie, our new addition to our family is a male Akita, 7 months old, he was bought from a family who needed to have him re-homed, we have bought two cages for his bed time, and he has managed to get out of the two of them, we even resorted to putting padlocks on the cage to stop him, but he broke the bars. (Hard to believe Barnie is content, but he is)

Now this might sound cruel! But as Barnie has been re-homed because of his antics, we have decided that the cage, although new to Barnie, is going to prove a good mode of training. (and he can come in the caravan awning on his holidays with us)

We have bit the bullet and bought a transK9 now, which has cost an arm an a leg, but the quality is superb, you sure do get what you pay for.

Now if Barnie manages to get out of this TransK9 I will eat my hat, (honestly I will). But he loves it, you could tell straight away. Bizzare but true.

With 2 cages fit for the scrap yard after only a fortnight, I have to sing the praises of the TransK9, very expensive, but the rolls royces of the dog world.
