[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my dogs loved it and when they were finally trained they loved to go in it to chill.

My biggest problem is they are large and I could never get rid of them because they loved being in them so much.[/quote]

You could have the same space but without a closed/locked door. Your dog would love it just as much as a place to chill and not be caged in.[/quote]

It’s never locked after they are trained. [/quote]

If you have the door off or always open, then I wouldn't consider it a cage or an issue. If the dog or animal can come and go as they wish then great. [/quote]

You don't seem to understand animal behavior or puppy development. You know how people used to train their kids or dogs to not get into stuff? They hit them. People who use non-violent restraints don't need to hit their young dependents. Unless you want to be attached to your dog 24/7, and rectify whatever mess he gets into when you're fast asleep... a crate is infinitely preferable to other solutions. And at the beginning, the crate will have to be closed. It's the entire point.

I understand it, I just don't agree. Caging animals indoors only became a thing in the 80s/90s. My family had dogs my entire childhood as did most of my friends' families as we lived in the country side and everyone had dogs. The dogs were never hit and never caged and neither would have been considered appropriate. I get that now since it is more convenient, it is become acceptable to cage your dogs indoors but that doesn't mean everyone agrees that just because it is more convenient for people, that it is great for the dogs.
