So as you all know Chaos is a bit of a character. He has hissy fits and when he gets ticked off he kicks his kennel tray out and pees the floor. This isually happens when we leave him for work etc. And honestly i think he does it soon after we leave because his paws are getting somewhat of a yellow color on the white part of his coat :-( He is and has been trained for a while, he just is rebellious to being crated yet we cant give him free roam because he eats everything! Clothes, toys, anything he can. So I was thinking maybe a crate that has no tray to kick out??? Any suggestions or sites where you order kennels....or advice on how to make this behavior stop???? Im at my wits end, not to mention I cant stand the stain on his fur.....makes me feel like a bad momma even though he has a better life than me haha

We had one from walmart too. The latch on it SUCKS! The Vari Kennel was a hand me down from over 10 years ago and the latch springs perfectly.

Ours is the hard plastic with the metal door, no tray. Look on Craigslist and places like that. Can save you a lot of $$$.

I said this on another thread.... But ever consider a play pen?! Made a huge difference when we switched Brooklyn from the crate to the pen! He has more room and doesn't feel so confined!

I agree Paula..might be worth a try..can use an Xpen..to create a pen.?? Even put his crate inside with open door..then he can come in and out..

I don't know if he has an xpen or not. Watson has one that is 3ft high and he doesn't even try to escape. I am very happy with it so far. Gives him more room

I'd pay to see a bully jump out and escape from this pen. It'd be impossible it's twice their height!
[MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION] I did the same thing with my Christmas tree!!!!!!!! And now Brooklyn can free roam so I break the pen into parts and block the stove, coat rack, and tv area. Great investment :)

Yeah i agree he wouldnt make that. He can jump the three foot playyard we bougt him. It was another attempt to give him more room than just his kennel. Actually he jumps tyen rolls over the top.. Haha...pretty funny sight :-)
