My dogs stay in crates when we aren't at home. They don't mind it at all. It's good protection for them and for the house. As Cooper loves to eat things he shouldn't. You're also doing a good thing with the off-leash training as well. There's been times when I've been walking the dogs and I've dropped the leash, but they know not to run off. Best of luck with your training. Hugs to you and the Bear!coopercreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274287451874355408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869748838562800530.post-15358646521340727742008-10-03T05:10:00.000-07:002008-10-03T05:10:00.000-07:00I was really lucky when off-leash training Ernie. ...I was really lucky when off-leash training Ernie. I had just moved to MI, and my mom and step-dad had an invisible fence. Ernie learned really quickly to respect boundries and look to me if he was unsure.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if an invisible fence is feasible for you, but it worked really well for me, especially if you are near a road.saratogajeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402142186036541065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869748838562800530.post-36307715396187019562008-10-02T19:49:00.000-07:002008-10-02T19:49:00.000-07:00I just read your other posts and I hope your poor ...I just read your other posts and I hope your poor toe gets better soon and I know how painful that is, because I did something similar one day too.

And one of them is a boxer as you've seen on my blogg. I only crated her when she was young. And she is a good house dog. But it may not work for everyone. Hope you have good luck on whatever you decide to do with bear.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01820115972983888355noreply@blogger.com
