Tad, kennel!

I have heard that some dogs take to kennel training naturally. I know that some dogs love their kennels, like Walker, who sleeps in his all night with the door open.

I was worried with Tad. I didn't really know exactly what to expect. But, with his aggression and house-abuse, I needed to do something.

A lovely Tad fan donated a large kennel for Tad, and we started.

I had to push Tad in the first day, and he settled down with his chewy and was fine. The second day, Tad went in on command. By the third day, I stood at his crate getting a treat out of the bag and he bolted into Walker's kennel with Walker! I was so excited. This morning Tad went into his crate without being told even before I had the treats. I had my phone and keys in hand, usual leaving the house signal, and he went right in.

You guys, I'm so excited. This alleviates soooo much stress in our house...and I know it's helping Tad.

  2. Maybe having his 'own space' will help him feel more secure.

  3. I agree Katherine; he's got his 'safety zone' and he'll feel a lot better.

  5. I HAVE NOT HEARD "TAD's" STORY, BUT I ASSUME HE TO WAS A RESCUE? I HOPE YOUR ARTICLES CONTINUE TO KEEP PET PEOPLE AWARE! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT A CRATE IS NOT USED FOR A PLACE OF PUNISHMENT ie; a Time Out. A CRATE SHOULD BE THE PLACE THE DOG FEELS SAFE, NOT CORNERED WITH SHAME! THE MORE WE HAVE A VOICE FOR ALL ANIMAL's THE LESS IGNORANT THE HUMAN's BECOME...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! I DO MY PART WHERE I CAN AND SO SHOULD, ALL OF US!

  7. That is really good to hear dear. Having pets can be fun but taking care of them can sometimes be hard. Are you feeding your dog properly and on time? That could be one of the reasons for his agression.

    Hello everyone, i would like to share my experience on this platform. i have been hearing of Blank Atm for a while and i applied through a few people but i was scammed, not until i found Mr George who saved me from scammers, i got my blank ATM card in 5 days after application and tried the encrypted card in an ATM machine and pos cash store to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw $3000 and that was the daily rate i applied for. to be honest there is no risk involved the card is not traceable and has an infrared signal that blocks off CCTV during your withdrawals. i just payed my daughters tuition fee and cleared my mortgage debts, i am also richer and started a business that is doing fine. Mr George is really a life saver and he is very genuine. You can contact him with this email address: blankatm402@gmail.com
    Best wishes
