Would substituting the crate for the back yard work? Is the back yard not restricting enough?
Full Question:
Hello,I just adopted a very mellow and sweet Rottie from the pound. He is about 5 years old. I had a question. We live in Southern California(great weather), have a covered patio and 6 foot fencing around my whole yard. I plan on having him as an outside dog for the most part.
So my question is:
From reading your articles. Would substituting the crate for the back yard work? Is the back yard not restricting enough? I am talking about the initial conditioning to establish pack leadership.
Thanks ahead for your time.

For preliminary ground work, a crate is really what we recommend. A dog has too much freedom of choice in a back yard.
