Thanks I might try using one soon.

Can some1 please explain what crating is all about. I was initially against it but am slowly starting to budge and am open for idea and suggestions. Who should use a crate? What are the advantages? Are they locked in? How is it different from a kennel? Our 7 month old pup sleeps inside on the coach every night and neither of us have a problem with it but am open to reasons why this could change. Cheers and thanks in advance

I started taking my pup for walks down in Williamstown (vic) along near the beach. Its an off leash park but i still dont trust having her off. In the 2 months that i was walking her there she was bitten by 2 staffies and one lab. All the owners said the same thing "oh he/she has never done that b4" but 2 minutes later their dog is off the leash again and running towards me Grrr Another reason why i keep her on the leash is that u can never tell when a dog will suddenly snap and decide to run across the road. A couple of weeks ago we saw this happen to a poor man who was walking his 2 small dogs. Sudenly one just decided to run across the road and say hello. Luckily it was not run over. If i want my dog to run (which obviously i do) i run with her, or i take her out to a paddock that is near by where she can run as much as she wants without the chance of being bitten or run over.
