Can excessive crating make a dog handler aggressive? - Page 2

An animal is spoiled because they wanted " out of a room" ? Can't recognize the logic there.
As a person I would not " just want to be in a room that long either". I thinking her wanting to get out after some time is NORMAL not spoiled.
In fact there are many articles on the internet about the abuses of crating.

Sorry you can't see the point you will find it a handicap in your dog training endeavors. Good luck with your dog and your training.

No means No Stay means Stay.

Personally I don´t like crates - there is no reason to crate dogs at home, dogs need education, no crates.
In case I am not able to educate them properly ( my current situation - nobody at home from 7.30 a.m. till at least 6 p.m. ) I am not going to get a dog... ( a kennel is better than a crate, and a dog living in the house is better than a kenneled dog for me - real life experience, based on decades of dog ownership).

I know people think different - but this is my decision.

All my dogs learned to feel comfortable in a crate during car rides, so the crates always were a positive experience for them - just in case...

On the other hand all of my dogs had to learn to stay in a room, in an appartment, in a hotel room, where ever, no matter the timeframe, without destroying anything - that´s called education.

I forgot to answer your initial question...
Crating a dog doesn´t change the gentics of a dog ( handler aggression mostly is genetic, although we could discuss if a dog really is handler aggressive or if he simply is dominant ; most so called handler aggressive dogs simply are dominant dogs...), but for sure excessively crating dogs is able to create neurosis.

I´d guess the dog in question just is dominant, the previous owner wasn´t able to educate him properly, and the change of handlers didn´t help later on ( already too dominant, "made" confident by the previous owner ). -
The perfect dog for police - raised by pet dog owners, used to all surroundings...

Tell him to "down" in a situation he doesn´t want to down, try to force him to down, and you will see the result...

A dog will bite you if he or she has no respect, trust, or faith in you .. the crate has nothing to do with it other than creating the conditions that cause the dog to question the respect and trust they have in a particular human or other animals.

You can find many articles on the internet about any opinion. Crating is not a bad thing at all. Many dogs like their crates, in fact. Every dog we've owned has been happy to go lay down in their own crates to relax, by their own free will (door open), even after they've been locked in it for 8-9 hours while we were at work/school/whatever, until we knew they could be trusted alone.

Agree with Susie, Dawulf and others. Sticking a human in a cubicle for 10 hrs doesnt make him physically abuse his wife. You dont learn to be dominant by yourself in a crate.

Chaz, you think abusing a wife shows dominance in a man ?

Hundmutter, no. Im not saying that is why woman get physically abused. Many different reasons. Bad analogy on my part. Could have switched the spouses.

I think Hundmutter was just antagonizing you, Chaz.
