    Crate for Kuranda beds

    Hi there, My name is Will, I'm a woodworker/carpenter based in Eugene, OR, and was hoping to get some feedback on a product I've built. A client of mine has a 1 y/o (and yet 200lb!) boerboel who loves his Kuranda (Aluminum XXL) bed and the client was looking for a more elegant way to integrate...

    Newly Adopted Bullmastiff Barking to go out several times a night....

    Yesterday I adopted a fantastic 7 year old bull mastiff named Major. He is quite polite overall and got a 1/5 (best option) for all behavior testing at the humane society. The owners who surrendered him noted on the forms that when he has to go out he barks at the door. Sounds like a good...

    It's been a while since I have had a puppy!

    I am bringing home a puppy next week and am trying to figure out about crate training her. She is 8 wks old. I have a two story house with all bedrooms upstairs, but much of the time we are downstairs. I have two crates from previous pups/blending households. Do I want just one crate to be her's...

    How do you safely transport a large dog?

    Hi all! I'm in the market for a large dog. I realized the other day that while my car, a Honda Fit, is technically big enough to fit a giant crate in it to transport a dog, it may or may not be practical to crate a Giant each time we go somewhere. I can already see the difficulty in squeezing...

    Midwest Ovation 1948dd crate?

    Hi, I'm new to the mastiff world, and will be picking up my male cane corso puppy this week. I went out tonight and picked up a midwest ovation 1948dd crate and when I set it up, it just feels really flimsy to me. Anyone else have any experience with these crates? I don't want to act on it and...

    Crate/Kennel Question? Size and brand???

    We have a cane corso, and currently she is only 9 months and about 70-75 lbs. We currently just have a double door wire crate that she sleeps in, and stays in during the day at work. She has become somewhat destructive if we leave for awhile on the weekend and she has chewed her crate tray a few...

    HELP?! Advice or tips? 8 month cane corso bored in crate and chewing.....

    We have crate trained zola since we brought her home and she has always been fine with her crate. She is usually in there 3-4 hours during work, and we come home for lunch to let her out and eat, then she goes back in for another 4-5 hours until we get home. We always play and tire her out in...

    Crate/Crate Divider

    I bought a used crate on Craigslist for my Bullmastiff puppy that i'm getting in a few days (can't wait!). I like to use the airline carrier style crate, mainly because they are easy to clean, and keeps everything inside if there was an accident...

    New puppy won't come out of crate, is she sick?

    Hi there, We just got a sweet 7 week old English Mastiff this weekend. We are intending to crate train her. She has been sleeping in her crate at night, with some long howls and cries. But she does not want to come out of her crate when we need to take her out. She goes in and lies down and...

    When to stop using a crate?

    Brinks is now 13 Months old. During the day (while were at work) he stays inside a 54 inch crate. We have a dog sitter that brings him out at four hour intervals while were at work. When he was six months old, he started to sleep outside of the crate at night, while we are home. He has never...

    Any advice for New Mastiff Owner

    :pray: Good Evening! Anticipating our new arrival tomorrow night into our pack. We currently have a 18 month old Chi and a 6 month old boxer/beagle mix. Both to which have been altered. The first worry I do have is the fact of leaving the puppy in his crate for longer than the "2" hour rule...

    Bells and Potty Training?

    Hello, We are getting our EM puppy, Fenway this week. He will be 11 weeks and I am not sure how far along he will be in his potty training. I have been hearing a lot about tying bells at the door so he can ring them when he needs to go out. This sounds like a great idea to get my attention...

    Going crazy. (crate training)

    I am trying everything to crate train Nala. I feed, leave treats for her to find, and leave something recently worn in there for scent (heard that works? I don't know.) I've tried the heated water bottle, everything. The only time she's ever forced in is at night because she's only a puppy and...
