I have a Cross Dutch Shepherd, (Cross between Malinois and Dutch Shepherd, but the collors of the Dutch).
so if the dog is 24 months old, it’s perfectly acceptable to lock a dog away for 24 hours/day?
What kind of dog do you have?
I just brought my new puppy home a couple of days ago. And he seems hesitant, almost afraid, of going potty outside. I’ve had more accidents indoors than successes outdoors. How can I get him over this nervous/strange behavior?
It’s not really a good idea to put a pup younger than 3 months for 8 hours in a crate but beyond that it’s very wise to start building it up, 1 week 2 hours, second week 4 hours, third week 6 etc. That’s what i did with my dog when he was still in training to become a K9 Unit, after 2 years he got a certificate and started to come to my work. He’s not just a pet, but also my best friend and partner
yeah lock him up not the dog!
true…1 hour for every moth of life plus one: 3 month old puppy can stay ina crate for 4 hours…this is the gold standard.
wen i get a puppy im gonna give is what it wants and a speceal place in the garden
im thinkin dat a dog(especially a puppy) cannot survive in a small crate for EIGHT HOURS!!! THATS JUST C•R•A•Z•Y!!
8 hours?!?!?! in a smal cage?!?!?
It freaks me out when and “expert” says it’s ok to have a dog in a small cage for eight hours
Someone chould lock him up for 8 hours in a cage when see how he feels about that…
A Wolf sleep in a open den for them to get out and get in when they feel like it.
By closing the cage you are forcing the dog to stay in it..
It’s mutch as neurological bad for human as for dogs to be locked up in a smal area..
continiously for 8hrs is way too long, but not after 6 months, then it is perfectly fine. Since you do have to sleep/work. And its much better to have the dog in a crate since it wont go to the bathroom where he is gonna lie down or sleep.
8 HOURS? ARE YOU INSANE?
