[quote=Anonymous]Just a warning about crating an escape artist: they can hurt or kill themselves. I have a friend who found the dog she walks asphyxiated half in and half out of the crate he was breaking out of, and I had a dog (a big strong boxer) who could break out most crates. We finally got one that had thick metal, and we secured it all together with D clips/carabiners at every weak point. I actually think it is really, really helpful for these sorts of dogs to have a crate and to be comfortable in it. They aren't breaking out because they are bored, they are breaking out because they are panicked, at least if my dog was anything to go by. If you can figure out why the dog is breaking out of the crate you may be able to whatever his trouble is - by helping him see his crate as a safe space (feed him in it, have him sleep in it at night, etc.)[/quote]
