I stopped crate training at about 9 months when my dog discovered he could easily rip apart a steel cage. he's not destructive in the home, or the rv, but doesn't like cages.
one kennel prided itself on "heavy gauge" escape proof chain link, my malaute showed them different. I implored them, you must WALK the dog 3x a day or he'll walk himself, even offered to pay extra, they didn't believe me... few days later I get a call from 1500 miles away, dog ripped huge holes in two chain link fences and was just laying in the lawn in front of the kennel. they were not happy, neither was I. They wanted me to fix the fence, I said I offered to pay extra before I left, that offer is now rescinded.
