Life Sucks but ya just have to do the best you can with what you have !

I can see 3 good reasons to use a cage over the standard dog guard.

1: Keeps dog mess in back of boot area down to a minimum.
2: Allows safe removal of multiple dogs or even a single dog as when you open the boot they cannot just jump out.
3: Allows you to leave the boot open with the dogs locked in the cage.

I would feel like I'm putting them in a little doggy prison. I know the dog couldn't care less...

Which reminds me of a funny story.

We were about to get our first puppy and had bought a dog cage to help house train him. However, the kids (4 and 6 at the time) thought it was a great game to go in the cage as a play den.

Anyway, I was running a £750mio deal for a FTSE 100 company. It needed a delicate conference call at the weekend to keep everything on track. I was leading the call with my lawyers, the client's lawyers and my syndicate bankers on the line - all very high powered.

My 4 yo boy ran into my study where I was holding the call and started going "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" very insistently. I stopped what I was saying and told the other participants that I just needed to deal with my son. Foolishly, I did not mute the line.

"What do you want mini-Emperor?" I asked.

"Daddy, can you lock me in the cage again, please?"

It took some explaining.

Oh my goodness, I would have loved to be part of the teleconf

We are discussing dog cages as well, in case we decide to move back to New Zealand at the end of the year (I resigned). We will definitely get a dog again when we live there !!! MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Couldn't survive without my hounds , been with the Boss 33 odd years and always had two dogs ( when we are both at work , one keeps the other one company ) well past tense as not working anymore due to disability

Unconditional love that is just amazing and call me what ya like but I prefer dogs to people but saying that my people skills have never been that good anyway as I am sure people on here would agree !
