Einstein and his mom joined us for training the first time less than a month ago. Einstein was a sweet, smart, red Miniature Poodle. He'd just been adopted from a rescue group that week. And his new mom was thrilled with him - he was a wonderful companion. She had big plans for him, including Obedience competition. She seemed to be doing everything right.
But she was too nice to Einstein. Since he'd had a rough time and was such a good boy, she couldn't face putting him in a crate or cage when she left the house. While she was gone one day this week, Einstein ate a tube of something he found in the bathroom. And the emergency veterinarian couldn't save him.
So, for anyone out there who thinks that crate-training is cruel - please think again. Einstein's new mom is in agony this week.

Good reminder. There is no way to totally dog-proof a house from an inquisitive doggy.
That is so terribly sad! A good reminder why crating creates a safe and secure place for our pets.
Oh, that's so horribly sad. It's a reminder that we need to do what's right for our pets (and our kids for that matter) even if they protest.
That is a heartbreaking story. I am so sorry for Einstein and his mom.
Very sad lesson to learn.
What a way to learn the value of crate-training. :-( Poor puppy, poor owner.
That are sad news. Sorry to read this.
We're all hoping people will see the value of crate training, especially when a new dog comes into the house. You're all right - it's just so terribly sad.

Oh my God. That is so horrible. I can't even imagine the pain (and guilt) she is going through. :( It amazes me that anyone could think crate training to be cruel. =(
