If you’ve read or been told that dogs are “denning” animals and therefore automatically take to crates, think again.  What does “denning” have to do with spending 8 hours in a crate?

And finally – there are specific circumstances in which it is dangerous to crate your dog.  Do you know what they are?

Learn all this and more in this audio training tip.  And if you want your dog to be happy home alone without getting into trouble you need our “Helping the Home Alone Fido” DVD program.
