Crate / Cage

[graham216]

Hi,
Sorry I have not posted in a while we have had a very busy 6 months at work with new computer systems going in Macey is still a little terror and still very lovley.

We have brought her a cage/crate and she is scared of it when she goes in there with loads of encouragement she seems to hit a pause mode and will stand in that position for about 10 min then she freaks and dives out very quickly knocking everything flying that is in the way.

I have run out of ideas

any help would be great

Thanks
Graham

You might try luring her in their with a tasty treat. After some time, she may associate the crate with good stuff and will go in there on her own. Try putting her in for different periods of time with you or someone else around, so that she doesn't associate it with you leaving her alone. You might also want to put it somewhere where there is a lot of traffic so that she doesn't feel too alone. I really just wanted to comment on how cute she looks in your avatar pic. She's a cutie!
