Our love their crates. The sleep in them all day - door open. The 2 greyhounds do get up and move around - maybe they will sleep on a dog bed that's in the open or on their futon (they have a futon ALL for themselves) but mostly it's in the crates.
Spike, the Italian Greyhound sleeps in hers all day, door open. We have hers sectioned off - it's a big dog crate with a dog litter box in it - then enough room for her to curl up or stretch out and sleep. When we go out - they get crated. They are used it to it and we didn't try and change their ways. All three came to us already crate trained. If Spike needs to go while we are out she has her litter box and she uses it. She's got the smallest bladder of course. ##| -----Original Message----- ##| From: Paul Ihrig ##| ##| we are thinking about getting a pup. ##| so once you crate train them do they always sleep in it? ##| or after a while is it ok to let them sleep where they want? ##| ##| you always keep the door open? ##| do they poop in there? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX with Flash Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=51 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163167 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
