We are returning a large steel cage that was torn apart by our Corso on Tuesday night. She ripped the far wall down inward and bent the front door so much that its unrepairable. We came home to an absolute mess in the room including but not limited to fecies on the carpet (the wife was done) where the cage is and 2 ruined door knobs that were matte black now chewed. Among everything on any counter down and so on.
This dog has been the absolute toughest dog we have ever owned. Not sure if we just got lucky or they are all like this but mann....
In any event after cooling down and the wife cleaning the total wreck left in the room. A nice glass of Cabernet and some Peruvian Ceviche was needed.
I contacted Petco and set up a return. I am thinking to use a smaller travel crate for the times we leave her home which is once or twice a week for a few hours. The cage from Petco was the extra large cage that gives her space to rip the walls backwards. I was also thinking about getting the same cage again but using commercial zip ties to further reinforce the walls of the crappy made cage.
I give her a frozen Kong ball with peanut butter to keep her busy in the cage but as soon as she hears us leave, she is gung ho on escaping. Our Bordeaux was the same way but he did not ruin the house while left out with the 2 poodles. The Corso is a born destroyer and cannot be left out yet anyway. She is 8 months.
Any ideas?
