re: What kind of dog crate do you have?

My lab destroyed 2 kennels, bent the metal gate to get out, chewed the plastic. Once he got out, he would tear up the trash and piss on the rugs. So I said screw it, let him stay out in the house. Since then, He has never once tore anything up, pissed anywhere or anything. He's been perfect for 3 years. I take it he was claustrophobic.
As for when we go places, he rides shotgun. He gets the backseat if the old lady is with me.
