At the risk of running this thread off topic, I have to strongly disagree with this statement. We have 3 dalmations, who we crate when we are not home. It keeps the dogs safe, they can't eat something that could hurt them, and they can't eat the furniture while we are gone. I could train them until I am blue in the face, but if they see something they want to eat, they will.

I crate my dogs. While that alone does not make me a good dog owner, it certainly is part of it.
