Last week my husband put Tara in her crate whilst at work for a few hours, on his return he found her out of it. We were like “oh, probably didn’t catch the lock correctly!” Well, today we put her in and double checked that both the sliders were across. Yep! All done. Took Bailey to rugby came home and she’s out again. Lol
So, we have a little miss Houdini on our hands. Lol
To be fair to her she’s so good in the house that I think we might just forget the whole crate deal. The first week she stayed in it just fine. She’s clever...real clever!

No way! She gets out on her own!? You have a mystery to solve. At least she is good when she's out, haha.
LOL, sounds like Demelza except she doesn't behave after she escapes.
They've even locked it and put stuff in front of the door but she still manages.
The weirdest part....the bolts are still across
You can see that the door of the crate is bowed at the bottom, only slightly. For her own safety we will leave her out of the crate whilst away from the house.
I’m almost tempted to put her in and peek through the window to see how the hell she did it!!!
She’s my first escape artist lol

Lol, oh no! Would be funny to see what she gets into!LOL, sounds like Demelza except she doesn't behave after she escapes.
I just remembered when researching crates that one of the complaints I found was that the slider lock doors can pop open if pushed against. Like the metal slider isn't long enough. We got that crate anyway and didn't have any issues with it. But that crate is also in the laundry room. When we got K's daytime crate (much bigger than his sleeping crate) and sitting in the open area of the house, we got the gate that slides up and down. Seeing the gate though, a motivated dog could push that open too.

Omg! I thought for sure it was the bolts coming open! Lol, ok, you do have to peek!The weirdest part....the bolts are still across
Just having the conversation with hubby and the complete nerbert relayed the wrong thing back at me.Lol
I’m like...”How the hell does she do it? And you found the bolts across?” ....” Just the top one!!”
“You said both?!” ....”Did I?” OMG lol
I’m gonna video her escape....I still wanna see how she pops the bottom latch across. I think it’s a case of shear force!!!
This is my mission lol
She generally goes into the pantry or fridge or freezer and opens all of the boxes and bags of human food and helps herself to what she wants.
She also figured out how to open all of the doors to let herself out through the barn and two tack rooms. LOL
Please record this lolJust having the conversation with hubby and the complete nerbert relayed the wrong thing back at me.Lol

Curious ... is it a wire crate ? Cuz so many dogs escape those easy. That's why I only use the travel type of crates.
Then again Ares is rarely ever in his crate, Athena on the other hand, let's just say she's a handful and sometimes imher crate time is for my own sanity lol
If she's not being destructive while left alone I think I'd just leave her crate door open so she can use it if she wishes.
There's nothing like getting home and being greeted at the door by a waggy nub.
Yes, it’s a wire crate. I must admit the slider latches aren’t very long.
Kobi never looked to escape so it was great for him, Tara....not so much. Lol
Just what we are thinking, Gel. She definitely settled upstairs on our bed, you can tell by the bed sheets, haha!
My worry with crating her would be her hurting herself, trying to escape. Paws, mouth etc...
She can open doors so as long as our external doors are locked all should be good.
