Sarah,

I thought I would update you on our wonderful progress.

 A month ago I was having crate problems with my newly adopted boxer, Mook.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your advice!

I did buy the crate you recommended from Dr. Foster and Smith. I also followed the crate training advise you sent.

Mook now sleeps every night in a closed crate. He is doing very well with short stays by himself. He will even enter on his own throughout the day.

Thank you so much for your instructions and advice. 

Sincerely,

Tann and Mook

Hi Sarah -

I wanted to thank you for all your help.  I'm almost afraid to say this, since it might jinx the situation, but I think things are better with my two boxers!! 

We haven't had a major fight since New Year's Day, when I got in the middle of a nasty one and have the cuts and bruises to prove it.  I'm making sure that my alpha dog (the original one) is first in everything and she seems to appreciate that.  I'm also finding that the new male is happy to be second; when I demand that he wait for Hannah and let her go first, it's OK with him. 

So, so far, so good.  Again, thanks, and I'll continue to update you.  Sarah, those articles you wrote for me are pure gold!!
