[quote=Anonymous]Reviving this thread--we have a 5-month old puppy who hates his crate despite intensive crate-training and following all the recommendations to end up with a crate-loving dog. We now keep him gated in two rooms which is working well. But everyone keeps telling me we are setting ourselves up for trouble, because puppies go through a more intense teething/destructive phase at 7-8 months. Was this your experience? I would really like to keep up the gating because it's been much less stressful for everyone, but I don't know if that is a mistake. When we leave him gated he has his bed and tons of chew toys and other toys, as well as water. We are not leaving him for long stretches but at times may need to be gone 3 or so hours.[/quote]
