[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crates are fine as long as the door is open so the dog can leave their safe space as needed to walk around. Keeping a dog shut in a crate all day is abuse. It sounds like a mud room gives that space. Not ideal but far better than being shut in a crate like some people do. Dogs love to run and play and need exercise, especially big dogs. the problem is that is a cycle - not enough exercise so dog takes out energy in the house causing a mess so owners restrict dog even more leading to more acting up etc..[/quote] Ummm I hope you are not coming down on crate training? It's a very effective way of training dogs. Dogs like the crate and they don't get into trouble they don't even quite know they are getting into. True... 8-12 hours in a crate for a puppy is not good (they have tiny bladders!), but please don't say keeping your dog in a crate is bad.[/quote]
