crating

Hi there,

Can you suggest a strong crate for my 15 month old staffy(Dexter)

He kept getting out of the ordinary wire ones,and actually scraped himself on one of the wires he bent.
I now dont use the crate in fear he really hurts himself.

He has now started on my furniture, chewing my three piece chair arm, he seems addicted to foam.

I work full time.

He is walked on a morning and then I have a dog walker at dinner time who takes him out again for an hour.

This routine is Mon - Wed,after that my mother has him as she does nt work Thurs and Friday.

Ive thought of a baby gate but my house is open plan..
Any advice greatly appreciated

This is my first Staffy


Regards

Welcome to the forum

My crate was from Jollyes and is very strong. But tbf Logan was never in it for very long.

You are making a good effort with the dog walker etc

thanks Matt for your reply,
Dexter really isnt left for more than than 4 hours them 3 days so think I am doing mu best for him.
As i said given him the run of the house because of the wire crate problem
Will have a look at the site you mentioned, of course it is difficult to contain him as he is really strong. Sjould have called him Rocky/Houdini

Regards

If he's happy enough to go in the crate and feels safe there you can even leave the door open. That's what I did with Logan, but then you havta make sure there is nothing dangerous at reach.

Zooplus have some crates on offer right now. Go for the biggest one you can fit :

You can get the rigid travel crates that are used for airline travel - they're strong but very expensive!
