The Value of Crate-Training

One of the cutest moments: We were playing a "trick" on Ruki. We left her out of her crate. We went through all of the motions of leaving the apartment, and stepped out and closed the door. Then we listened. All was quiet for about 3 seconds, and then...

Gnaw, gnaw, chew, chew.

We had left her by a chair, and that chair leg was quickly becoming her replacement parent. This is one of the values of crate-training: preventing destructive chewing.
