Let's See Your Dogs!!

Riley will sometimes launch off the couch toward the TV with his wagger stuck straight up. It's funny as hell.

 

My dog simply barks at anything that resembles any animal on tv. She has a particular distaste for horses, lol

 

This is Boost, my mini Aussie

 

Great name

 

Thanks, he's 17lbs of boost lol

 

So my pup has broken out of his crate a couple times over the past few weeks when he is left at home alone. I needed a better crate option so he doesnt get into anything he shouldn't. Last time he broke free he ate a sock whole. Didnt know anything was wrong until 2 hrs out of town on a trip over the weekend. Sunday night after getting home he pooped out the entire whole sock. Hopefully his new crate will keep him safe and out of trouble. This thing is built very strong. It weighs 70+ lbs on its own.


Heres a pic from over the weekend camping and hanging out with my friends dog at my feet.

 

damn, that's a determined husky to require something that appears to be bear proof

glad our husky has no issues with her crate and sleeps in it at night even with the door open.

 

@twheat40 you need this for thiea! Theia?

 

I think he figured out the latch on one crate and broke and bent the side of another crate. He has some separation anxiety I'am trying to work on. Hes only 6 months old and almost always has someone around. I'm gone for 13hrs a day for work. Luckily I have some great family that can help me take care of him while I'm at work. He sleeps in it great at night but the door gets shut. He will eat anything he can get his mouth on. I had just put it together and wanted him to get in it for the first time when I took the pic. It took some enticing since its so different from his last ones.

 

It should be able to hold ANY dog. My pups only 6 months old and he will find a way out of anything if he wants. I'm pretty sure this will hold him. Its the "budget" option of inescapable crates. Its a

I'm happy that my husky doesn't like to escape as much as she just likes to chew anything and everything in sight. Beautiful dog and I really like that crate.

Theia. and she already has 2 crates, I dont need more. Lol

 

thanks for letting me live through your doggo photos.

much jelly

 

Heres the crate he broke out the side of.

And another pic of him a couple weeks ago with my buddys other dog(another mixed rescue) not shown in the previous post.

I wish he wasnt so determined to get out. I need to start waking up even earlier and walking him in the morning before I go to work instead of just at night. It might help but its so early, I already get up at 430...

 

Dang. That takes some determination. I have that same crate/similar crate (the one yours broke) for everyday use and she has not even thought about trying to break out of it like that. I also have a smaller one which I use for in the 4runner and trips and stuff.

I walk her a lot, but even on days that she is not able to get out much, I could never imagine her doing that. She did chew her way out of a soft crate though.

 

our old GSD had that problem, we reinforced the edges with carabiner clips from home depot.

 

I hate to say it, but that will probably help. Only one way to find out tho...

 

Proudly scaring away all the birds, to, you know, keep us safe

 

My little son of a bitch needs a lot of activity.





Throwback Monday:



She moved the crate she was in from the kitchen, twisted the door open, and chewed the couch from inside the crate.

Yeah. So, now I have her in a much beefier crate, walk her twice a day (like yourself, I'm away from the house at least 11 hours a day), spend upwards of 320 a month to have a dog walker take her out in the afternoon, and take her to the rowdiest dog parks that I can on my days off.

So far, it's all worked. Her separation anxiety is still there, but she's calmed down considerably.

 

We have our boy in training to be a therapy dog. He just got his CGC, and one thing our trainer taught us to help with separation anxiety, was instead of just leaving, was to turn it into a "command". We started off with saying the command word ( we use "toodles") then go outside for 5 seconds and then come right back and treat. Gradually working your way up to 1-2 minutes. They start to associate the command as "I'm coming back" not as "I'm leaving you forever".

 

The squad.
