<p align="center"><font face="Arial"><strong><font color="#003300">If dog crates were designed to look like little dog houses, it might be easier to convince people that they are NOT cages</font></strong><font color="#003300">!</font></font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#003300" face="Arial">First, let's talk about what a crate really is and how they can improve your relationship with your dog.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#003300" face="Arial">Long ago, when dogs were still wild animals, they often slept in dens - shallow holes they dug in the ground hidden away in places where they felt safe from predators. These were small, dark places, just big enough to turn around in and to lie down comfortably.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#003300" face="Arial">Even after centuries of selective breeding and living in people's homes, dogs still retain some of their ancient instincts. One of these instincts is the desire to have a den - a small, cosy place of their very own where they can feel safe and secure.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#003300" face="Arial">A "crate" is just a modern version of a den. In other words, it's a dog house within your house. Just as you enjoy having your own room where you can go for peace and privacy, your dog likes having his own room, too!</font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#003300" face="Arial">As well as giving him a safe, cosy place to stay, crates can make training your dog a lot easier. Housebreaking goes much faster when you use a crate and destructive chewing becomes easier to control. Travelling is safer for both you and your dog when he's in a crate. As you may have unhappily discovered, it's very hard nowadays to find a motel that allows pets. Many motels, though, allow -crated- dogs. Finding a rental apartment that will allow pets is becoming next to impossible but many landlords can be persuaded to accept tenants with crate-trained dogs.</font></p>

<p>I tell my puppy owners and anyone else who will listen, about the crates...the puppies feel secure and the older dogs don't feel threatened (by the new little interloper)</p>
<p>I have one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen...and Fin has only just stopped using them...If I used to go out he would trot over to his crate and stand and wait until I opened the door to let him in, and he was very happy to stay there...and now he doesn't try and sleep on the bed, he sleeps where the crate used…</p>

<p>I think I know which litter this is....if they are the ones I am thinking then go for it....well reared and loved babies are always the ones to to for..as far as your others are concerned, your oldie will give it a look...and that will be enough, the puppy will respect this and most likely leave her alone, my old lady (who I lost last year) had liver problems and my youngster used to just leave her alone...except to clean her face, when she agreed to it....they do seem to know.

And the puppy can go 'crazy' at other times...they do seem to find their own level...I too am getting a new puppy soon, and I have had all of the same thoughts...will it upset my 'now' old lady, although she is only 7, will my 'baby' mug the puppy all the time, and not leave it alone...all these things must be thought of but in the end, they will find their own place in the 'pack' and will respond 'correctly' to their new family...and personally I swear by a cage...it is a must when you have young and old in the same house...the puppy needs 'time out' and that is where IT should go..I always say of my babies they are lower than snakes bellies in the pecking order.....and that is where they should be....well that's the theory....lol good luck with your decision....</p>
