Dogs Hate Crates reveals that many owners who buy their dogs rhinestone collars and call them “babies” also lock them in small cages for 18-23 hours a day. And although “crate training” is proven to cause hundreds of physical, emotional and social problems and is a poor method for behavior and housetraining, many dog industry “experts”, motivated by $50 Billion in greed, are attempting to persuade America that “dogs love crates”.\u003cbr\u003eFree of emotional bias, Dogs Hate Crates details scientific and neurologic research, expert opinions and true case studies to demonstrate hundreds of serious symptoms caused by excessive crating, ranging from fear to dislike of humans.\u003cbr\u003eThe book also contrasts cases of criminally abusive crating, puppy mill raids and atrocities against dogs with quotes from well-loved animal behavior experts on dogs transforming lives as nature’s ambassadors and physical healers. And the authors provide effective behavior shaping and housetraining instructions as alternatives to crating.\u003cbr\u003eContemporary cultural trends make America vulnerable to crating propaganda at home; and allow commercial puppy mill breeders who keep dogs caged their entire lives to sell as many as 4 million pups a year to unsuspecting consumers.\u003cbr\u003eDogs Hate Crates examines the relationship between monetary profit and the growing popularity of caging dogs, and identifies surprising players in the pet industry and beyond that likely benefit in the millions, and billions, from dogs’ and owners’ distress.
