Dog kennel
 

My lab has always hated being in his kennel and has managed to break out in many different ways, but he has taken it to whole nother level in the last two days!! first piture was from yesterday and the second is today.
He really chewed through the fence!!!!! and how he fit through that hole is beyond me!!!! any advice?????

wow!

Put a hot wire around it. He will get the hint. Not talking about frying him, just a little tingle makes a big difference. :work:

Wireless fence, my lab loves to go Visit everyone when I'm not home, have used them for several Labs, it's the ticket, just make sure you follow the directions on training him for it

HAHA! Thats what my dog used to do. Couldnt keep her in there for nothing. She did everything except dig underneath it.

Another question is, is that black rubber mats he is on. That get way to hot to be on if it is.

Looks like plastic pallets?

I had one destroy a gate before, he was not the sharpest tool in the shed. Hotwire would be my suggestion and I would turn it up! This dog is probably very bored, spend more time with him and if possible put a radio close enough to the kennel for him to hear it. Talk radio should work, no rap, or heavy metal. Might also want to invest in a welded panel kennel ($300), tractor supply has them and they are far superior to the chain link you have.

He's only in there when i'm at work and he gets plenty of exercise everyday ...... maybe i'll turn the radio on for him!!!

It's plastic pallets that i got courtesy of Wally world...... I was going to paint them, but he's always got shade and he's got a pool to cool off in!!!

Either hot wire or take a day off and put a shock collar on him. Watch him from inside the house and every time he so much as touches the fence, you nail him. It won't take long.

I have the wireless fence already just got the kennel to keep him from tearing everything up....... which he's broke out everyday this week and hasn't been chewing anything up..... so i may just let him stay out and see how he does...

Leave him balls & toys plus rawhide bones to keep him occupied....When they get bored is when they tear up stuff!

Tore my kennel down. Keep her on a chain while i'm not home. She's good about being loose, just cant keep her from knocking over trash cans. She's terrible for that. Tried the shock collar but never does it while im around. Started locking my trash cans up so she would leave them alone, she just goes after the neighbor's cans then. Will eventully have to go with the wireless fence.

I bought a wireless that, uses radio no wire to bury, works good till battery dies which is about every 2 months.

Josh, just let Totsie have him for a couple of days. That should take care of any issues you are having. LOL

Sent from my EVO

i was thinking about putting some hot sauce or something on the wire to light him up when starts knawing on it!!!!

Why dont dont you give a lil tonys and a cold miller lite so he can really enjoy the fence lol

Yea i was thinking the hot sauce may give it a little flavor and he'll really be chomping down!!!!! he don't like beer to much though!!

Your dogs name is Brees? I like:)

my dog chewed my porch post so I put some red pepper, she just licked it off

Yes sir........ named after the one and only!! Registered name is "Shooting tha Brees"

I have the galvanized one from tractor supply. I don't think he could chew through that.

a .22 cal bullet right behind the left ear should do the trick josh...... load it up and come up here and we will change the wire out. that is some cheap 12 gauge wire. i got some he wont chew threw

i bought the thing from you ........ seem like you would send your crew over to fix it????:confused::D

well i magine

Same here. Had a lab that would dig holes everywhere to get in the cool dirt. Tried the Red Pepper thing with no luck. Started licking it as I was spreading it. :rolleyes:

also don't buy that spray stuff from tractor supply. i put a whole bottle out where mine was digging and soon as i got finished he went and laid in it

same here, that stuff is a jk

Well, he wasn't digging anymore! :*****:

I had a dog that would grab the gate and pull it until he twisted the latch enough to open the gate. I went to the feed store and bought a "fido fence" package. Strung the wire in a zig zag pattern on the gate and hung red ribbon on it, gave him a few hours to get used to it and check it out good. I then plugged it in and sat back and watched. When he went to grab the gate it nailed him, he tried a couple more times and learned not to try it. After that I would hang red ribbon where I didn't want him to be and he would stay clear of the ribbon.

Mine would do the following..



-Push kennel off the slab, and fit underneath
- Chew thru just like yours did.
- Knock the hinges off the gate somehow


They aint dumb no.

Same kennel as yours

Mine is too dumb to figure out how to chew through it or dig under it so she just stays in. My other dad put an electric fence around the whole kennel. If you do that, be sure its off before you open the gate cuz that doesn't feel too good.

My lab sleeps in the bed:(

My dog chewed up the fence a few times, but never got out.
He did get out by chewing thru the aluminum tie wire that holds the fence bottom to the pipe.

We would let our dog out the kennel during the day and put him in at night.
We had a fan by the back door and during the summer, he layed up in front of the fan all day long. If we turned it off, he would dig up the back yard.

ok so i fixed the hole (i hope) and made his kennel a littl more luxurious ........ he now has a fan and a radio to go with his pool......

Sounds like you got yourself a second home as well if the old lady gets pissed at you

Rubb it down with vegatable oil and pour cayenne pepper on top but he will probably just chew somewhere else. Maybe try hog wire or something stronger.

I did that to a horse that chewed on a wooden gate.
Didn't stop him.

i tried red pepper on my lab a few times. she licked it all up and was looking for more!! i guess shes a true cajun dog. lol

hot wire.. is a done deal

Go to Curry feed on broad st in Lake charles and check out there dog kennels made by Behlen Country, Magnum welded wire kennels, I guarantee he will not chew thru that cage, It is made with 1/4 inch panel wire, this kennel will hold Mike the Tiger. A little pricey but it is the best kennel all hot dipped galvanized. If he is worth anything to you this will hold him. Website www.behlencountry.com

How did you pull off gettin those pallet's, I have a kennel that I need something to put under and they look like they would work well

Just finish your fence and won't have to worry about a kennel.

Honestly they have them stacked up outside and I pulled up and loaded them up..

ok thanks
