This came up on another thread and was wondering what you all think.....
Most of my dogs will bark at other dogs that come up to their crate. I have never had an issue with this. If at an AKC function, I put their crates in out of the way spots, cover with a sheet and put our chairs/cooler/etc around them. If someone allows their dog to walk up to my dog's crate, well then my dogs are going to bark. I always thought it was more bad manners on the other owner's fault than an issue with my dogs.
At schutzhund training, most people don't walk right up to them and I have never had a complaint.
So...
Do you think crate aggression is an issue?
How do your dogs react?
How would you train them out of it?
