update:
we’ve done more practice, in crate, crate door shut, shut boot and wait, open again treat…did plenty of that then.. did the same as above but got in front of car.. and out again and opened boot, treat…
more of that and then same with engine startingand then we took him on a little trip round the garage in the car
only one tiny peep ;D
We must have looked bonkers 😀

May 31, 2009 at 3:24 pm #112398xtineMembershall do more of the same later :ok: ;D
June 20, 2009 at 1:57 pm #112399xtineMemberthought I’d update.. he’s been in it a few times now and is absolutely fine ;D really pleased ;D
Not sure if crate is too small tho :-\ he can sit up and turn round, but standing is harder cause he has to lower his head… but then, he doesn’t stand for long, usually lies down…. not sure whether to look out for a bigger one…? The next size up at petsathome was MASSIVE tho 😮
we got him this one: http://www.petsathome.com/find/keyword-is-dog+crate/product-is-V00083dimensions: Large – 91 x 61 x 71cm

June 20, 2009 at 7:13 pm #112405ValMemberUnder the Animal Welfare Act he has to have a cage big enough for him to stand in as well as lay down comfy ;D Have you tried Hamster cages?

June 20, 2009 at 10:37 pm #112407kizkiznobiteMemberdo you think you have t crate him,,,how about a harness?
June 21, 2009 at 11:22 am #112408ValMemberWhy not a guard instead of a cage you could always add a safety door on the back, personally I think you should phone the Hamster man, IMO I have a fear of dogs in cages iin the back of the car but I do have a guard behind the front seats it stops the dogs from being thrown into the front if I was to have an accident, Fritz is not a Rottie he doesn’t need the strongest of restraints he just needs to be safe
