This. And of course there are always exceptions (mild to severe anxiety), but in general, THIS!!

This is a crate. There is a Bo in this crate. I’ve had several potential clients ask me if I’m going to crate their dog while it’s at my house.

Yep. I am

This is a piece of training that is non negotiable. Your dog needs to be able to handle being alone. The crate is how you start that Day 1.

Lucy goes in her crate and sleeps several times a day by her own choice. They eat in crates. They sleep in crates.

It’s not prison or torture. It’s peace of mind knowing I can say CRATE, and my dogs go sit in their crates. This neutralizes problems I know are about to happen.

Too much freedom doesn’t end well with dogs. “Let them be free” is how sh*tty dogs are made
