So yesterday was day 2 of crate training, day one went well Yoshi only cried for about an hour before going to sleep. So I had to run out and get gas for the car yesterday before our trip to the vet, I got back home to find 2 pieces of plastic laying in front of her cage. One was the cover for the latch , I attempted to open the crate and realized she had pulled the cage door so hard it had jumped out of the catch and was inside the cage and she had snapped the plastic stop off. I put it back together and figured we'd be ok. So bedtime came and I put her in her crate , she carried on a bit and I went to my bedroom only to hear this loud metallic thud and no more crying but a jingling collar, I opened the door and there she was... She had forced the door open pushing so hard from inside that she bent the metal enough to pop the rods out of their holes. I was amazed I tried one more time and she got out in less than 2 minutes. So the brand new crate is bent and damaged and can no longer hold my dog... great...
