Janneke, thanks for your comments. Your answers totally help me make sense of your situation, and what Tillo is doing. I would be the same as you - the human might want the dog to get their points, but is it the best for the dog? In your situation, I certainly agree with your train of thought. I am a big Tillo fan, so naturally want him to do as well as he can in any show, but I can see how his behaviour could lead to worse things down the road if he learns that he can growl and get no reprimand for it. You are doing the best thing.
Show me your crate pictures!

Is breakfast ready yet??

Wow, your dogs get king size accommodations!
-
Not really funny per se but it makes me smile
-
I know… I know... There's no door...
Casey didn't like being crated... I think she only "posed' in her crate because I had the camera... She never slept or stayed in there for long... Because she preferred the couch! -
LOL those are all cute
-
so stiff!
-
That is the cutest thing ever! My sister is constantly begging my parents for a puppy, I think I will send her this link and maybe it will get her some bargaining power…who could resist that!?
-
hahahah if only they slept 16 hours a day
-
She has a rawhide chew stuck to her lip
-
Heather, notice Dallas is stiff while sleeping in the pic I attached too. It is so funny that they can sleep like that! He will fall asleep on the sofa with stiff legs & I can actually carry him to his crate with his legs straight up in the air & he won't move them one bit. It's hilarious! These are crazy dogs huh? :p

My pups are all raised is a big crate so I have lots of different pics of them in their crate. I also have some ones of my dogs in their x=pen when we are out at events.

Gosh in that first picture your Reds coat is absolutely stunning! It is so deep of a red I am envious! How on earth do you get such nice coloring?
-
Ahhhhh puppiesss!!!! Love em
-
I'm loving the escape attempt that went..uuuhhh sleepy!
-
here's tayda terrorizing the big dog in HIS crate! actually, she's playing… but its still funny. Keisha (other dog) is terrified! (and 3 times bigger than tayda)
-
Nice paw action.
You just can't ignore me!
-
OK - tonight, Duke and Daisy got tired, Duke on top, Daisy below - crate doors open - both found in their own beds:
I find them in their "rooms" often - they love their space - really unless I let them share mine.
-
I see a few of you have stacked your crates one on top of each other, do your dogs not mind being able to see each other? I think Zahra would go insane if she could not see Chase.
