Facts are just that...FACTS.
Let me better help you understand what a FACT is:
Generally, a fact is defined... |
I was the one who first made the statement about a puppy proof room. I responded by saying the following.....
"Your point is there is no such thing as a "puppy proof room" and your right, there is no such thing as a 100% puppy proofed room. Just as there is no such thing as a baby proofed house.
Having said that, many people have managed to raise children in homes that were not 100% child proof and many Dog owners manage to raise dogs without crates. Often people use their half bathrooms, or laundry rooms as puppy rooms. They pick up anything the puppy can easily put in their mouths and cover the floor with newspaper or potty pads provide an area for sleeping and put down several toys,and a gate across the door.
I do not expect to change anyones mind on to crate or not to crate. But here is some things to think about.
For some dogs with separation anxiety, the crate can be a place of refuge from their woes. They may be much happier inside a crate when their owner is away than when wandering free. For others, crates are an imposition, a misery, and an obstacle to be overcome at the expense of broken teeth and fractured claws. Owners return home to find these dogs bug-eyed, in a frenzy, and salivating profusely, and may even come home to find the crate splattered with urine, feces, and/or blood. For such dogs, the use of a crate is not a good approach, at least, not without a lot of retraining.
Crates are good tools for some dogs, some of the time. But, even when the crate works well for a dog, it is unwise to confine the Dog for more than 4 to 6 hours a day to avoid having the crate becoming associated with negative experiences. Every Dog should have an open door crate to go in if they so desire: A place to go when things get hectic, just for a little peace. Used in this way, a crate can be as much appreciated by the Dog as having a room of their own room is appreciated by teenagers. And it is possible, once the Dog enjoys the crate to close the door on occasion. But remember, confinement is for the convenience of the owners, not the dog's, and should be employed sparingly. In my opinion. "

I know what a fact is. Some people are just fine without crates. That is enough facts for me. In a puppy proofed room you have the puppy's toys and nothing in the room that he or she can bite, tear, or rip except for his or her toy. Like I said, I do not keep my puppy in a crate and she has not gotten into anything. My pupppy is just fine. |

Quote maligirl1: having to resort to threats is very rude also. :troll |
And I am not a troll. Again there was no threat intended. Sorry if you thought as such. I did not want to make anyone mad. I just do not like to be cursed at. Even if it was edited. I did get carried away and I apologize for that ( excuse my spelling). |

Oh. You can say whatever you want to say. I never said that you have to stop talking. |
