[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Experienced dog trainer here: Your dog has been “good” for 2-3 weeks because new. Now expressing her real feelings. But keep on with crate training. It’s a necessity. [/quote] Crate training is by no means a 'necessity'. Crate training is a new-ish trend, its really taken off in the last 15 - 20 years, but people have kept pet dogs for much longer than that and they were really fine. I have no objection to the use of a crate as a temporary measure for housebreaking a puppy or as an 'indoor doghouse' with the door open for an older dog, but neither is really a need. A lot of well-meaning people have been mislead into thinking that a crate is where a dog lives and where it should spend most of its time. That is a real problem. [/quote] +1 It's a new thing and it is not done elsewhere in the world. It's unnecessary.[/quote]
