Will tying our dogs make them behave?

I know some people are going to get me for this, but many EXPERTS do agree that crating a dog is not bad and in fact good since they have their own little place to get away from it all. I have 2 beagle/border collie puppies who will be a year old next month and from the beginning, they have loved their crate which is more for a a large dog, but with 2 medium puppies, it's perfect. A crate should be not too big, but big enough for the dog to stand and turn around. Crating is excellent for housebreaking and protecting the dog and your house if you have to leave. If your puppies are overly active, (You didn't mention what breed, some need more exercise than others) then give them an opportunity to play and wear themselves out. Or if they are working dogs, teach them some tricks or something for them to do. One more thought on crating that is VERY IMPORTANT!! NEVER use the crate as a punishment, only to protect your house when you are away. Soon, you will see, like my puppies, that they will go into the crate on their own to rest, like it is their own place, and no one else's..

No, absolutely not! Only teaching them will make them behave. Read about training a dog online or in books, and be very patient with them. This is the only way to get your dogs to behave well, otherwise they will just get violent and hard to control. So please learn about animal psychology instead!
