Hi i have a question about crate training , I have looked throught the last 8-9 pages of this section and also the puppy sections and couldnt really find much on it in here but have seen quiet a few post where people have talked about crate training there puppies . So my apologies if there is already a thread and i just cant find it .
Everything ive read it all about crate training and how to get you dog/puppy happily into the crate we in turn will help with house training them and teaching them not chew everything in site and to feel secure but not what happens after they are trained .
So my question is so do you stop locking/closing the crate once they are trained and can do these things sorry if im missing the point of crate training but i dont understand why i would need to put my dog in there once he is grown and trained . Or does it just become like their little bedroom safe zone .
Also is there a standard recommended size for the crate and pen for say a stafford ?
thanks Shan
