Crates blehhh :/

[Hanne]

Is every law a good idea there?

Yes, I would say, animal laws are.
Then people know - to keep dogs is something to think about and treat them with respect - just as you and definitely most people do here at SN.

cut --I am not so worried about him tearing up anything as I am about him getting hurt. Better safe than sorry. Using common sense and have a sense of empathy is the best policy in my opinion when it comes to crates.

Yes, if they are injured, our everyone's horror.

In puppy-hood, it is important that we have them in a room (no cage) where they are safe and can move around when we are away from home for longer.

You're right we come far with "Using common sense and have a sense of empathy" - If only all owners of these little souls would think so.

I can easily see it may be situations where it may be a short time solution - even a good one.
