Gone to the Dogs

[Marie2020]

Cages doesn't work at all with Nancy. She is fine travelling in one, and that's a soft cage but not in the home, in a metal metal cage. I think that she is a reincarnated Harry Houdini. She just gets out somehow and get really agitated.

I haven't got her real history.
Judging by her nipples, my friends and I think she has had more than one litter and was likely confined to a cage throughout. This might well explain her reaction.

her ordeal.

I keep her on the lead for most walks but for a couple of enclosed spaces. I do like to see see her have a good run.

I don't have a crate for my dog either @Marie2020. This has never been a problem for me, though when he had the splenectomy I regretted that I hadn't conditioned him to one since no crate meant 24/7 oversight next to him on the floor for a month.

The main thing in the video is about how dog's perceive space. A huge part of dog training boils down to that; humans communicate with sound, with dogs it's space. When you limit/control the way a dog navigates space it really shifts how they perceive themselves and the relationship. Part of separation anxiety is them being unable to control how you the human navigate space, and it's how dogs communicate to each other. My dog had a bit of separation anxiety in 2020, after the lockdowns were lifted.
