Heavy Duty Crate

August 7, 2013 by Sarah Wilson | 1 Comment

Chances are, if you’re reading this piece, you have a dog who fights crating tooth and nail. So sorry, that is stressful for everyone.

If this is the case, here are a few hints to help you help your dog:

Make his new crate a positive place.
Use heavy duty zip ties to strengthen edges and corners.
If the crate has a single door, face that to the wall after your dog goes in.
If your dog has been opening the gate, rig it so he cannot.
Try some medications, see if any help.
Exercise him more – both mentally and physically.

Good luck! If you get one of these crates, let us know how that works out. The more info we have the better.
