Crates
My DS puppy refused to be in a crate, it was a nightmare. We had to let him out, never to be put in a crate again. 2 and 1 half months old.

Re: Crates
If you...uh... want to use a crate...um...you can gradually introduce the pup to the crate.

- Tell us about yourself: I have always had german shepherds but I am new to dutch shepherds. I hope to get a new pup shortly and look forward to learning and sharing my experience.
Re: Crates
I don't use a crate, I use an exercise pen. It's bigger, they can move around more, and it's not as confined as a crate. In my opinion crates are just torture for a breed like this.Debbiejakas1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 12:53 am My DS puppy refused to be in a crate, it was a nightmare.
