Even though crating helps to control your whippet, it may also have some disadvantages. Some of the dangers include; Dangerous for dogs with collars – Your whippet may get its collar stuck in the crate's mesh. The collars must be removed to minimize accidents. Emotional frustration – Whippets love bonding with humans and other animals. Restraining them in the crate for long hours may result in emotional distress, making them aggressive and unfriendly when released. Tragic accidents due to improper crate assembly – the crate should be assembled correctly, especially the metallic designs since the loose meshes are dangerous to the dog. Some crates may collapse, leading to injuries or even fatalities.  Frustrated muscle growth – Restraining your growing whippet in the crate for long hours may impair its successive muscle growth. Suffocation and death – A poorly ventilated crate may lead to suffocation and death. The vents should always be kept open, and any item clogging should be removed swiftly. It all comes down to the hours that your whippet spends in the crate and how well you monitor its behaviour inside the crate. Some whippets may end up withdrawing from interaction and suffer emotional distress. Even though crating is right, you must always consider both sides of the coin before installation.
