pyrless Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 All right. Baxter the Pyr is quite the little escape artist! Any recommendations for a tough, inescapable crate that I can get in 36" high? The one he's in now is an old General that has spring-lock latches that he can open, plus a slightly loose top.

rotten_two Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i don't know brands but whichever one you choose you can always get extra leash or tie-out clips and clip the crate door with those too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgntrnr Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I have also used carbingers for clips also and those zip ties that sometimes cops use to tie up hands when they don't have enough handcuffs, they are real strong in holding something. I use both plastic type and metal type crate, the plastic one when she ( my dog) goes to work with me and the metal one at home because she got out of the plastic one at home. I use the above mentioned things on the metal one I think it is a "Lifestages" crate on Petsmart.com. She hasn't escaped from that one "yet."[quote] "Training is an investment in your dog, if your not willing to invest, don't get a dog, get a stuffed toy."[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabine Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I used double-end snaps for my x-pen. Those work too. (Straight from the horse-barn. :D) [img]http://www.countrysupply.com/itm_img/BPN04.jpg[/img] They are about a dollar a piece........ :wink: You can also use those to hang little waterbuckets in your ex-pen.

Lokipups Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Pyr, while they're expensive, the Petzazz Enduro is the ONLY crate that can hold up to a Siberian (and that's saying a lot!). It's reinforced at all the seams, and only 1" openings. Like this, [img]http://www.petsmart.com/media/ps/images/products/detail/thumb/i/inP0/inP020163thumb_6fd9.jpg[/img] Although when I tried the link, it says they no longer carry them (they were only made for and sold by Persmart), dammit.

drjeffrock Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 My Akita has tried to break out of her varikennel numerous times with no luck. It's crazy, you can see the chew marks on the plastic bottom by the metal door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrless Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Great! you know, I am glad I am not the only one who has this problem! Funny thing is, he sleeps in it at night on his own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
