craftycarper 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 yeah like butter wouldn't melt in their mouth..like mine shes calmed down a lot over the years, the boys i crate which i would recomend. All three of mine would take food off the side if you turned your back for a second...thats natural, but the destructive side needs to be addressed. Something to play with to occupy it, but it must be well made not your usual crap that lasts less than a minute Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something to play with to occupy it, but it must be well made not your usual crap that lasts less than a minute Ha - that's a cute looking dog! I've been trying the crate and so far so good but I am limited to only doing it when my neighbour is out as he's an asswipe! But, being around in the day I am using it a lot then. Realised I was using it as punishment for being destructive so have stopped that and use it as a reward. He goes in of his own accord, think it helps that it's next to the radiator lurchers eh. As someone rightly pointed out.... superior beings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
craftycarper 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 be a bit careful with it next to a radiator, especially if you feel the cold and are prone to having the heating on a lot, dogs have coats for a reason and keep plenty warm on their own. My bitch is a fussy eater so i feed her in the crate, the other two woof theirs down then set on hers...she has a habit of taking food out her bowl to another corner of the crate and eating it instead of just eating straight from the bowl at which time the others are on it .

craftycarper 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 the two boys are crated if i'm out, the bitch runs free...never really been destructive...bored and playful at times when i have gone out and come back in have found half eaten spuds up and down the hall and the odd bag gone down...but that was a couple of years ago now, not happened since. They take a couple of years or so to mature or settle down i say, also a good idea to crate yours because if it is destructive it could have a go at any electric cabling you might have like extension leads...and that could be nasty.
