How do I convince my mum to get a crate for our dog? He’s a four year old late neutered male Labrador. He’s a rescue and we’ve had him since February.
He’s super sweet and a typical Labrador in every way. We had some people round and he got really over excited, and by the end of the evening he was just so over stimulated and I think would’ve benefited from having a crate so he could hide away a bit. With Christmas and new year coming up, we are going to have more people round more often, and I think he would be a lot better with a crate. I’d never shut him in it because I think it’d stress him out, but I want him to have a safe space, or his own bedroom if you will.
That being said, my mum isn’t strictly anti-crate. She just doesn’t want one, and I think because media can portray them as negative, it stems from that. What can I say that might help convince her? I’ve tried explaining that we don’t have to shut him in and it’s his own space and nothing more, but she doesn’t seem to get it, and just says no
