The Spotted Devil Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ohhh Ive been looking for a crate, this popped up at the right time. :D Eza - can I suggest NOT for your new puppy :D Hard crates for young dogs, soft crates for older, chilled dogs. Have a look at Vebopet online for a hard crate. Yes they are heavy but your pup won't tear it to shreds :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at Vebopet online for a hard crate. Yes they are heavy but your pup won't tear it to shreds :laugh: Thanks TSD. Actually soft styled crates can work perfectly well for young puppies. It depends entirely on the intended crating application and on the owner, their time, commitment and plan. That said I always find out these things and many more before I would advise that a customer get one of our crates for a youngster or not. I am the first to suggest a steel crate if I don't believe the owner is up to the training and scenario required for a soft styled crate. For us it is all about the right tool for the job, not closing a sale. I have people thank us for advising them away from one of our crates if the situation or application raises any red or even orange flags for us. But a blanket "no way" is definitely not exactly right :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Just to support this - I used my girls puppy PP40 overnight while she still fitted but at home when she outgrew that she went into a soft crate overnight. Not sure I'd have left a 4-5 month old BC in a soft crate at a trial for instance or while out but overnight she was fine. Having said that I did have to buy a new cover for one of my K9+ crates after she decided to chew the door off while it was just set up at home and she wasn't actually in it. Crazy puppy.

Good point Ness and one I always raise with people wanting one of our crates for a puppy or a dog who chews... I always say if your intending on allowing unsupervised open access to the crate, then no, this product is not suitable for your dog. the dog must be locked inside or not able to access. Puppies treat soft crates as a giant chew toy from the outside and from the inside, if the door open held open they will lay down with the zipper at mouth level and chew on it :) Again, it comes down to intended application and the amount of time, supervision and commitment the owner has, less about the puppy or dog itself.

Guest crazydoglady99 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hahaha perfect!! Crates do look fantastic btw. I had a lovely browse around your store - seems to be missing a few rotti's in crates pics though... As soon as I figure out where I can fit one (plus the rotti's) I'll be ordering me one!

Yep...... I remember a 9 month old border collie puppy parading around the flyball nationals at the Frankston show (I think) about 6 years ago. She was the most placid little dog in the world, but had torn the front out of her soft crate. It took another 3 years before I could put her in the crate unattended.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Evil hound spent some time shut in the big crate today because she didn't seem to understand that screaming at my house guest who happened to have a bit of a sore head, was not ok. She nearly ended up in the car for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
