[QUOTE="Fran, post: 270399, member: 3"] Crates simulate caves from what I read. Your puppy seems happy and feels safe too. It doesn't have to be forever if you don't care for it. I don't use a crate now but until I was sure they wouldn't ruin the house I used it. My guys aren't chewers but I don't want them to have free rein when I'm not home. They never mind being confined to the kitchen. My boy dog really only needs to go out 2 to 3 times a day. I wouldn't leave my toddler human children to have free rein or expect them to not destroy something. It's their nature at that age. Once they grow a little and learn the rules of the house, they get more freedom. Anyhow, that's how I understand those who know more about dogs than me and how I want my house. Crating is very much a common tool. It's not a punishment at all. Remember it's your house and he needs to learn the rules. He is smart. It won't take him long. I always figure if something's not working, I'd get expert advice, research and do something different. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
