When my babies were little i would put them in a crib/cot to sleep so they were safe and secure, i did the same with Oscar in his crate.
Locking a distressed dog in a cage for the majority of the time is cruel and not how a crate is supposed to be used but used correctly they are extremely beneficial in my opinion.
It is just a place for them to rest where they are safe and can't be bothered (i have small children so Oscars crate was a godsend for him having some time away from them)
Like everything it is all about personal choice wether you use them or not but used correctly they aren't cruel  |
I have to say your description above of the crate being used in the same way as a babies cot is just brilliant!! I get so much negative reaction when i say i use a crate for Logan but yet he loves it and is so chilled in it we are very happy with our decision to use one.
Well done Rainy!!
