How can assess if dog is actually crate trained?
I've now had a few dogs where I said the requirement is that the dog has to be crate trained ie OK with being in the kennel for a couple hours. Each time the owner has been agreeable that the dog is fine. then when night actually comes the dog has issues. Other than asking point blank are you lying to me lol.....how can I accuratly access if the dog is kennel trained?
Would it be a good idea to kennel while owner there to see how dog reacts? I know mine doesn't have crate issues but would probably whine a little. So would that really be good gauge? If he freaks out and you're right next to him, probably can't handle overnights?
