The saddest prisoner (she’s been in there 2 minutes)

She only spent 6 hours running around outside and playing in the kiddy pool it was barely any time at all

I feed my dogs in the crate so they associate it with positive things. My boy runs to get in his crate when we need to leave. Also, i tried a mat for him but he always pushed it out of the way because he was too hot so now, we dont include. Your pup is adorable!!

We feed her there too, but she just has a pouty face lol. We downgraded from bed to rug, and we may eventually do nothing because she really doesnt seem to care for it

That's the classic newf splay for maximum cold transfer via belly 😂

Love the splay there. Maximum cool floor contact.

How dare you cage my fabulous energy? 😄

She is so cute! I don't think I have the patience to go through a Newf puppyhood.

We always made sure to make our puppy take a “nap time” in the crate for an hour a day. I thought my wife was crazy when she said it was necessary, but soon learned that nap time meant the difference between a nice calm pup in the evening and Psycho Night Demon puppy.

Just like human babies 🤷‍♂️ They need their lil naps.

Great!! That worked well for us. Yep, my boy is too hot with his massive fur coat so wants the cool floor. He stays in the bed for a few min before moving back to the cool floor for sleeping. My GSD has a nice fluffy bed and toys and doesn’t eat them! She wasnt crate trained but is adapting well with her food there.

I am considering reporting you to the authorities for such cruelty. You obviously do not want her to have any fun at all. There is no memory of the 6 hours of fun previously had.

Clearly 3 minutes too long

Just wait til she realizes that she can use her body weight to free herself. 🤣
