"I wonder why dog chooses on his own free will to go in his crate"

I guarantee there has never in the history of canine husbandry a dog that has EVER entered a cage under his own free will. And i challenge you to cite one legitimate example.

But thanks for illuminating just how clueless most owners are.

Third time. He'll do just about whatever he thinks you want him to do. In his DNA. You're supposed to be smarter than the dog. But then you're supposed to be smart enough to distinguish training for nature. Same problem we have with the Pit owners these days. More money than sense and no experience to weigh stupid advice against.

You're right about Parvo though. Never really liked dog parks. I won't even let our garbage man pet mine.

That's not how it works, you don't get to make a statement, call someone names and then "challenge" them to disprove you.

That is a tactic however to undermine an ability for others to see an opposing view to yours and to fluff your feathers.

You are an odd one. Furthermore you are far from the norm and in the extreme when it comes to views on dog training and companionship.

You know zero about my dogs, other than they have a crate and use it; yet you make blanket statements. Clueless, yep...three fingers pointing back at you when you point one at someone.

Maybe go back to your PETA boards?

Hey slick, perhaps you need to do some research on "K9 denning instinct "

Keep in mind who your talking to.

No kidding.

Thanks for the heads up! We're always looking for ways to keep him safe. I believe he's had 3 Parvo boosters so far, with another checkup scheduled for the 26th, so I'll check up and see how we're doing there.

  One thing I never advise on is shots,the Vet should know what is required and any extra protection that may be necessary in the area you live.

   I had a young pup contact parvo,in those days the used a horse serum,I was lucky my dog survived! My Vet asked if they could sample some blood to send off the an University that has a animal husbandry campus,they took the blood of 3 surviving pups and developed the vaccine that is used today!


  Only your vet can give you the proper advice on which shots are appropriate in your area!


  K9 denning instinct....... good one,even my wife got a chuckle out of that!

     your funny!!  FYI, Doesn't matter "who", my response (demeanor ) is directed to, it's always the same.    Over 35 yrs experience w/K9's dictated a response to fact-less info.

Wow that's pretty cool Morf; I'm sure you lost some of that litter but it was certainly not in vain.

I agree with you about the Veterinarian consulting on all the shots; I just meant to inform if he was unaware how serious parvo is. Many first time owners have lost their pups unfortunately to it.

  I had a single pup at the time so it didnt affect a litter of mine!   There were 2 dog locally and another from where I have no idea but my Vet said they were a  border collie and shepard,I had a bullterrier,she went into the Vets at 30 lbs and came home 10 days later at 20lbs.

  Parvo is nasty,it ulcerates the intestinal tract from one end to the other and the dog can absorb it's food. IV feeding was what kept my dog alive,that and she was a bully that wouldnt quit!

  Several years after that they revised the parvo vaccine again,sometime in the 90's but the first "K9" vaccine came from those 3 survivors!

  Luckly in my area it's not a prominent as it was in the 80's and 90's but I would still suggest every owner have their dog protected from it. A 10 day stay at the Vet's isnt exactly cheap!
