Hi all, just after some opinions please. Earlier today my 10week old lab boy got his little jaw stuck in his wire crate. Luckily I was in the same room as we are still working on him being in his crate during the daytime and I was able to free him pretty easily. Despite making some pretty horrendous noises at the time and scaring the life out of me he doesn’t appear to have suffered any ill effects and was happy to wander in and out of it afterwards and eat a meal in it, however it’s made me wonder if this has happened to others as ultimately I would like to be able to leave him in the crate for short periods when i have things to do or I leave the house once he is more settled, but this has put me off some. Has anyone else experienced this?Thanks.
It's unfortunately quite common for young pups to do this. They get their little teeth hooked and pull back, so they are not actually stuck, they just think they are. On the plus side, they rarely do it twice!
Thanks for the reply, it was pretty scary so good to know it’s fairly common. hopefully he has learned his lesson though I have my doubts!
