so appreciative of your uploads…huge help in reasoning out how to be the best pet parent💕
I know this is a sensitive topic, & I try to be as realistic as possible. Thank you!
I crate-trained my dog until he was 1yo. When he knows all of the house manners and has no separation anxiety issues, he is free-roaming in our house.😅 but the crate is still there, the door opened, and he is okay to be crated on command. He is 2yo now 😊
Cruel. Take the time to bond and enjoy your dog. This is cruel to crate.
I've always crate trained my dogs. Its not cruel and here is the undeniable proof. A proper crate trained dog uses it as a den for well being and enjoys hanging out in the crate at times. One NEVER penalizes a dog by making them go to the crate for punishment. That's crate training 101. Also I've never needed to close the crate door after that 6-12 month period.
@@janethill4365Please explain how you feel a crate is cruel
Sounds like my place!
@@RachelFusaro Hello Rachel,
I am wondering to see if you may have anything that might help my pure bred female Pomeranian of 4yrs. She's been licking/biting her paws & her back quite a lot, she shakes her head & is also eating grass now. I'm not sure what would be the right product to give her. It might possibly be a yeast problem or even an unhealthy gut.
If you could please let me know ASAP, that would be amazing!!! Please consider providing your email.🙏 Thank you so much for your concern.🙏❤
Sincerely,
Very worried Pommy Mommy
I totally agree with the crate NOT being overdone and for punishment. I have always used crate for when I have younger pups that are not trustworthy free roaming while I’m gone for few hours. I leave crate with door open, bed inside, so most of my dogs go into cage on own free will to nap and just simply have a personal safe area. If we use crates as a punishment or only when we are leaving them alone…they sometimes think of it as a prison, imo. Thanks Rachel!
First, I totally love watching your videos. They are very informative, and actually reassuring in the respect of my puppy’s behavior is not unique, and many other people experience the same issues I have. That being said, I am a first time dog parent. My puppy (Border Collie (mix)), was only 4 weeks old when I got him. Mother was hit by a car. I was hoping you would do some content on raising prematurely weened puppies, and some guidelines. An example might be the use of treats for training and other considerations these puppies might require, being so young, and removed from mom so early.
I have a 2.5 yr old rescue that lived his first two yrs in a crate. He had his own pillow on my king side bed. I am training my lab puppy with one. It’s been rough. He does great with eating in it. When I leave the house and nap time. I have the create open and I do kennel work.
My baby girl has never been in one
She came from the humane society and was so easy to train. She is so smart
She don't bark even when someone knocks on the door
She barks when we are in a separate rooms. Where can I get the harness for the car. Thank you for the info.
I am a mother of two human babies also, and completely agree in the concepts benefiting our pets that live indoors. I have never seen any of your videos before but share in every concept you have shared. They absolutely need a space that belongs to them in the house. I would add that some animals like bathrooms. I dont like it.nid rather not share that space. But she finds it really comfortable because of the tile. So we must use our hearts and consider the emotional needs of our pets. Sometimes they choose locations that may require you to adapt. That concept is exactly the same as parenting. As our kids get bigger they sort of help themselves to your space and forget your a person to. Our dogs require relaxed spaces as do humans.
My dogs have never touched a crate. They always take over my bed😂
lol
Mine either and I have gang of 5. All have beds downstairs and in my bedroom but they ofcourse they sleep with me 😅
I love it! 🐶🐾
@@wieslawatrzesniowski7838 🤣🤣 you are their slave🤣🤣
@@TJ-id6ee 🤗😍
Excellent video! 👏🏼👏🏼
My dog loves her crate. She puts herself to bed and takes naps in there.
As you can see, Fin does too hehe 😜
Thank you for the advice this helps a lot I might be adopting a puppy soon named shadow
Great advice. I have a crate for all 3 of my dogs. However it's not the babysitter. Mostly it's so they know they have their own spot if they want. Very very short times when they're actually locked in. Thanks so much.
This was a better way to put it. They can be great resources, but are not a full time “babysitter”
@Rhonda- That's the proper and humane way to create a dog if you're going to do so. Sounds like you loved your babies and they have a great life with you 🙂.
I know this is off topic but instead of using Heart-Guard, what then for mosquitoes and heart worm, and what can one do, or put on your dog to prevent or help with mosquitoes?
I know it has nothing to do with this video but is spot and tango unkibble still a good dog food?
Rachel do you have a video about dog barking?
crate-training is really more for safety than anything else. we have fire and flood risk and not all shelters allow pets. it's also safer for them during travel (untethered and uncrated dogs become projectiles in an accident)
Yup! Agreed
You’re channel is good and no need to use click bait. 👎🏼
Has the title changed since you wrote this? Sounds about right to me 🤷♀️
@@Hopespringseternal nope. But it says don’t crate which makes it sound like she doesn’t like crates, but she does.
They can be good and bad, her point is that you need to crate train your dog, but don’t always keep them in there unless you HAVE to. But making the crate a safe spot for the animal is also good
@@user-gm6uu4id5l I couldn’t agree more, but the thumbnail still makes it clickbait.
I just brought home my 12-week-old puppy. He had been crate trained by the breeder since 5 weeks old. We tried to put him in a crate in our bedroom at night. He screamed and cried uncontrollably. We tried to ignore it, but we then opened it and allowed him to sleep in our bed. Also, he hates being in the puppy pen while I am cooking dinner or taking a shower. Please help!
I’m a new puppy owner and when it’s wet outside he bringing in such a mess when it’s wet and he part poodle . I don’t like giving him a bath until night time becuase he loves to take a bath and be clean . Is there something for their feet when they hv to go potty in damp or wet grass
My dogs all love their crates. I use them when I need to run errand’s
For short trips they can be great! We still practice with ours to keep my dogs comfortable with it❤
Sometimes i have to force my dog to get out of his crate, that's their personal space
I am 58 and out of all the years we have had dogs I never used a crate...I had many pups from 12 weeks on and had them potty trained within 3 weeks with no mistakes in the house ....a lot of work but, I never minded. 😊 Whether they were rescues or free picked puppies. I love to train so, I always had well behaved pups. If one had to be kept separated because of being spayed / neutered or injured I kept a baby gate to close my bedroom off for resting thats were their beds are anyway. Thats were they go when they want to relax anyway. I guess to each their own.
I’d love more advise on this, how do you trust a puppy when you leave the house etc?
Dogs are individuals. I too have had many dogs and never crated them, until I got my current rescue. She's very comfortable in her crate and sometimes goes in to sleep on her own with the door open. She sleeps in it at night and with a bone if I need to go out, because she's happy and safe there. It's her place.
It started when she first came to me after being abandoned at a Walmart in the middle of the night. She was traumatized and it made her feel secure. She also needed a big orthopedic surgery and there was a several month recovery time. She is a confident, bubbly, dog now, who flies around the dog park, but she's still happy in her crate. (and the couch, big chair, and every other place between me and whatever I'm doing = ).)
You have a heart.❤
When I brought my foster home from the pound, he had lived in a cell for 8 months, and was rubbing his fur off because of being closed up for so long. He was 14 mo old and not yet potty trained. He peed on my rug the first night and again next morning, but I interrupted him the second time and took him outside to finish. I started giving him praise and treats when he let me know he had to go outside. He has not had a single accident since.
I leave the door open to his crate, and even leave treats inside. He NEVER goes in on his own. I did have to leave him in there once for 1-2 hrs and he was tearing it up when I got home. I have been training him to wait in the car for short periods and he's done very well. I have even left him home alone uncrated for up to an hour, and he did not do any destruction. If I have to leave for several hours, I'll just take him to doggy daycare.
Crate training is awesome, but because of his personal history of living in a pound for so long, it's hard for me to see it through. He was crated as a very young pup when he went through obedience training, but the 8 months in a cell afterwards took its toll. He just wants to be by my side. ❤
if crate training in a metal crate is not going well, do you think changing it to the Diggs will make a difference or it wouldnt matter - worry about him hurting his nose again as he gets so worked up..HELP
Interesting video. Love the indifferent cat at 2:11. I have two
Can my dog get used to being in a crate because I had to work but now I can just say crate and she will go to the crate when I get ready to go to the store but that's the only time and then they go lay in it if they want two and they do go outside to potty
My beagle will let us know, "I'm ready for bed" by heading to his crate. We will leave the door open until we are ready for bed 😂. We got home from a road trip and he saw dad bringing it into the room and he lined up ready to hop in for bed ❤️.
Rachel, can you review WeFeedRaw food subscription?
My dog loves his crate
Never used a crate and never will, even when I have fosters. I feel like they’re in jail. They should be free walking and running around
Have you ever had issues with getting into something they shouldn’t?
@@RachelFusaro not so far. I have a maltipoo and we foster goldens and labs. I do use a gate when it’s feeding time to separate, because some fosters we had were food aggressive
@@mz1860 Bless you for what you do for these fosters. Thank you on behalf of all the dogs that have been lucky enough to come through your home.❤
@@MlSS.S thank you! It’s hard but very rewarding
Hi, there is very useful advice here about using crates judiciously and appropriately, I just wish the title of the video wasn't so sensationalized, there is no need to do this, something like "how and when crates may be appropriate for your dog" would better represent what you are conveying in your content
Great suggestion! I tried that, & nobody watched it 😔 unfortunately the algorithm prefers simpler catchy titles in Order for videos to be actually seen. Frustrating!
She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do to get people to click the video. I don’t see the harm. It’s not like she was talking about a totally different topic than what the title says.
The first night we brought our rescue home, she cried in a crate. And we couldn’t bear it, we thought.. this is horrible. So, we got rid of the crate next day and placed puppy pads down throughout the whole place and potty trained her. We got lucky with her! She’s never been destructive. And she since that first night, has never ever been in a crate.
I never owed a crate for my little Prince Luie; don’t need to.
Hey look please I need your help. My puppy whines hard each time I pick him up from his back, and by his back, I mean that he's face is not looking at you anyways each time I pick him up like that he whines hard what should I do
I hope you're not picking the dog up by his scruff because it would be quite obvious that that would be extremely painful.
If you mean that you're picking him up with your hand(s) under his torso and he's crying, there could be a myriad of things going on inside his little body that maybe causing the pain. In such a case, he needs to be taken to the vet ASAP.
So what do you do when you are away from home for 5 to 6 hours to work?!
3-6 hours is TOO long!!!!
My dogs just turned 1 years old in July they recently completed training and I keep them in a crate from the time I leave for work at different times of everyday to the time I come home, so basically the whole day every day is that good for me to do or no?
@loveroflife - Would you do that to a child, or would you like to spend 10 hours everyday in a prison cell? Then that should tell you how the dog feels. Animals do have feelings and they have the intelligence of a 2 to 3 year old toddler.
@@MlSS.S Thank you for the response this is very useful information
Rachel! Are you in a Swiffer commercial??❤❤
I want to take my crate down but I think my dog feel like that his house got a bunch of blankets toys and the door is always open but most of the time now I got him laying on the couch now but most times I come
Check on him he sleep in his house
You don't have to take the crate down. It's okay if he feels comfortable going in it at his own discretion, but just don't lock him in there for hours on end. 🙂
Vets highly push crates 😢
Unfortunately, most veterinarians will push anything that they are financially incentivized to push whether or not it's good for our pets.
😂 My dog runs into his crate when he has done something bad or if he knows it's bath time 🤣
🙈
I crate my dog every night when I go to bed. He’s free to roam the house during the day & only on level. Not allowed to jump on furniture either. Now don’t judge me.😊
We don’t judge here ❤
I never crate if I leave either what if house catches fire? That scares me. I use fir few miba because my dog gets overexcited when someone needs comes over and he attacks my other dog after settled he comes out.
I think 6 hours is WAY too long to keep a dog imprisoned in a crate.
The only times I crate my dog is after I bathe her for like an hour while her her coat dries and I may create her if I travel with her to visit friends / family and there is a large gathering at the or if someone visiting is afraid of dogs. Even in such instances, I would not create her for for no more than two to three hours.
If I go out and have to leave her home alone, I installed a baby gate if for some reason I don't want her to have access to the entire house. She is also pee pad trained (from when I used to work from the office) so she doesn't have to sit there 4 hours with a full bladder for hours until I get home.
A dog is not suppose to be in a crate at all.
There is so much science proving this is not good for the dog.
Here in Sweden it is totally forbidden!
If you can't watch and have a dog as a family member, don't get one.
And friends that are totally scared for dogs are not welcome in OUR HOME if they cant get their shit together.
Whats up with the click bait title… nothing you said was against crating lol I think we all know the 1 minute+ long bark box unboxing is getting real old…
Yeah, it's lame. It would be nice if people didn't feel the need to game the system.
She’s obviously doing some kind of long term partnership with Barkbox. It’s probably like a year long contract or something and she has obligations to post. Its not like Barkbox is a bad product. You can just fast forward through that part if you want.
@@ccap3211💯 EXACTLY!
So first off, dont begin the video off with "you should never crate your dog" and then go on to further things
We adopt hard to place dogs. Some have been crated and did not develop properly. Its cruel. Crates are for lazy people that dont want to put in the work.
That’s not always the case. Did you even watch the video? She’s not recommending that people crate their dogs for long periods at a time or as a punishment or anything.
