Thinking about getting a puppy and I would like to know your feelings on crate training. So if I use the crate for potty training and we are successful, when can I stop using the crate??
I have a almost 6 year old Belgian Malinois who is an AKC Grand Champion and is currently ranked #4 in Gr. Champion points. She has a Herding title, CGC, Rally Novice, TDI, & also the Temperament Certication from the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. She is quite a pistol and has 2 legs on her Beginner Novice Obedience title. Eventually I would like to at least get a CD on her, maybe more. She will be going to the Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show in Orlando in December. This is the 2nd time she has been invited and since it is on the East Coast this year, we will go.
