I just purchased a soft travel crate for Rogue as we are traveling to my new place of work in a few weeks. He does really well in his regular crate since he is crate trained. However, in the soft crate, he scratches it a lot for about 2 min and the
Hi there. Rogue is adorable!! Thanks for the photos! I would suggest you try putting him in the crate with a REALLY good treat for small periods of time each day. Start with only 5 minutes and then each day increase by a minute or two. When I say a REALLY good treat I mean one like a Kong with stuff inside so that #1, it is a good experience for him to be inside the crate from the moment he gets in and #2, it will occupy him for some period of time (instead of a small bite of a treat he eats in one second). https://www.kongcompany.com/101/kong-101/ Hope this helps. Best wishes.

My lab repeatedly chews up the dog door flaps suggestions on ending this type of behavior. I have replaced them twice would like to make this time before winter my final time.
Unfortunately there isn't a quick and easy solution to your dog's weird obsession. You can try spraying a product called Bitter Apple or No Chew (look at the pet store) to deter him from chewing there. Also make sure he has plenty of other (and safer!) things to chew on. If those don't work, you may consider crate training or training him to wear a basket muzzle to prevent him from getting in trouble when you are gone.

what do I do if my puppy is smart enough to get out of her cage on her own?
I would recommend getting a different cage or one that requires two fingers to engage a spring. Dogs are unable to open the cages that have the springs in my experience. These are similar to cat carriers that have the spring loaded mechanism on the door. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

hello, I have a 3 yr old dog (breed: Maltese terroir/ westie. I just want to know what to do, people have stopped coming over our house cause he will bark very loud and try to bite them. also if someone leaves the front door open and if fluffy (dog)s
It sounds like Fluffy is reactive and uncomfortable around people he doesn't know - this is a very common problem. I would recommend asking visitors to call ahead before arriving, so that you can put Fluffy in a separate room or a crate before they arrive. Once they are in and settled, you can bring Fluffy out on a leash and practice rewarding him with tasty treats for being calm. The front door needs to be better managed so that Fluffy cannot run out after people who are walking outside. If household members are not able to remember to close the door reliably, get a baby gate or other barrier to use as a back-up so that there's no way he can run out. Separately, to work on this problem, you can practice standing just inside the door with Fluffy on a leash, and feeding him treats every time someone walks by. Over time, he will learn to look at you for his treat when he sees a person, rather than wanting to chase them and bark. It can be difficult to do this on your own, do I would r

She likes to wear her clothes so it wouldn't be a problem. And also what do you think how much does a small crate cost? Can she eat her regular food
That's cool that the recovery suit will work for her then. The cost of crates vary by location, so I would check costs in pet stores, as well as checking online sites that resell things (like Ebay if you have that in Bosnia & Herzegovina). You may be able to buy one second hand. Yes, she can eat her regular food :-)
