Please help. My GSD has outgrown his kennel. I don't have the funds to buy him a bigger one right now and I've tried having him sleep with me and the hubs - not an option. He's 8 months. Please don't think I'm irresponsible. We've had some medical issues pop up and after Yogi's $1500 medical scare, I simply don't have any extra money at the moment. I thought about putting him in the bathroom but am concerned he'll chew and this is a rental. What other options are there? (feel free to get creative).
I've always had my dog sleep beside my bed, without a crate. When he was a tiny baby puppy, I used a baby gate to contain him in that area. Can you rig up something like that - even by taking the old crate apart and using that as a barrier?
No prob I am a reuser, not a recycler, lol. Those old crate panels really come in handy - I have one against my sliding screen door, for example. I hope my bed idea works for you - good luck!
the baby gate idea a good one. Or if you are worried about roaming and can't gate off an area.. there's always the leash to the bed post idea.. doesn't have anywhere to go but down to sleep
No bed post. Lol. The room idea isn't working out because he keeps climbing over us when we're sleeping. My husband works 5am-5pm so ... Yeah. I'm going to repurpose his crate tomorrow so I've got the weekend. Also the weekend I'm having the "sucky fairy" come to my three year olds room to take all his pacifiers away. *grin* It's going to be a long weekend. I've got a cat that hates him up in my room also to contend with so I'm going to have to figure something out. Thanks ladies!
