Anyone try one before? They look pretty intense but my pit bull still is having issues with anxiety despite training. He's broken through metal wire crates and now is about to make a hole in his plastic crate. I have to be out of the house 8 hours twice a week for clinical (in nursing school) and he gets a break during the day when a friend comes to walk him and play with him for an hour to 2 hours (sometimes longer because she just loves him, he's a great dog!) those days.
We've definitely have had some improvement but there are some days where he'll sleep the whole time I'm gone or my friend comes and he seems perfectly fine and there are other days where he's torn up the blanket and its a swimming pool of just drool at the bottom of the crate. Not to mention the chewing up the plastic to the point where there are actual small holes on the top of the crate by the door.
We're in an apartment and generally I'll walk him on regular days 1.5 to 2.5 miles before he goes in his crate. But on clinicals days he's completely uninterested in even going to the bathroom at 5 am nevertheless going for a walk. We thought if we could put him in a crate we at least don't have to worry about him being able to chew his way out/hurt himself until we have some more time under our belt with training.
Here's an example of the crate:
We'll take the wheels off of course.

Don't know of anyone who has used one before and was hoping someone would have some thoughts on it!
