Is it ok to leave my dogs in their crates?
I have a 8 month old ridgeback/rottweiler, and a 10 month old rottweiler. We live in an 1000 square foot apartment, with a huge deck. They used to stay in their crates when I went to work, but recently we thought we could leave them in the bedroom during the day. They were doing fine at first, but I came home today and they had chewed on the cable wire. I think I need to put them back in their crates. Their crates used to be in the bedroom, but it got so cramped. I was wondering if it would be ok to put them in their crates on the deck. The deck is covered, and has a wicket fence around it, and a net above it. WE live in San Diego, so its not cold or anything. Is it mean to leave dogs in crates? They get plenty of excercise, they go to the dog park for 1 hour a day, and I run them each 15 min a day, and walk them 30 min a day. Plus they have tons of toys, and they have their kongs, with treats. They play all night w/ each other.
Not if it is more than 4 hours a day.. And certainly not on the deck! Why don’t you put them in the kitchen with some chew toys?
