Best Dog Cage for a pitbull?
I have a lot of experience with pitbulls but with this new "puppy" I rescued I am completely stumped. My other dogs have been able to get out of their metal cages and we have solved it by placing a padlock on a corner of the cage and that usually solves the problem. After awhile they learn they can't get out and we are then able to take the lock off. This new puppy who has no previous training at all needs three locks on his cage, we bought a new cage for him thinking that maybe the other one was just bent enough that he could always get out. Even though we have had him for about a month he still whines and barks for at least an hour when we put him in his cage. I have wondering if anyone knows of any cages that a pitbull can't break through. This dog is going to be neutered in about three days, and I was also wondering if anyone knows if we would see a difference with his cage behavior.

With my foster pit bulls I have always had better luck with high quality plastic airline crates. Although I did have one dog that learned to pull the door off, and even broke his tooth doing it. After talking to a number of other bully breed owners and trainers I eventually began to tether him. But that requires a bit of training first. http://www.happyhoundnashville.com/tethering.html
How old is this pup? Is there a unspayed female nearby? That could very easily be the cause of his issues if he is matured by not yet neutered.
Also when you put him in the crate add a loaded/stuffed kong in with him. Pack it full of treats, dog food, and peanut butter, so he has to work for a while to get it all out. That always keeps my pack happy for a while, and they forget to cry and bark.
I know they do make super strong metal crates, my friend bought one online for her dane, but they are pretty expensive and extreme. http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Indestructible-St... but it would work!

If it were an actual mean dog out for blood I doubt if any fighter would stand a chance. Dogs are highly resistent to pain and extremly fast, not to mention that their teeth can make someone bleed much easir then any punch or kick. Add to that the bite force that a pit bull can apply and I dont see any way that a humen one on one without a weapon can win. Most people here have no idea what alarge aggresive dog can do.

well, after a month it is obvious this puppy doesn't want to calm down. are you letting her out when she whines? if so, leave her in until she calms down, this will teach her she gets out when she calms. NEVER use the crate for discipline. try to go on amazon.com and get her an exercise pen tent, and put yous and blankets in there, but continue crate training.

Well, its pretty obvious, the poor dog doesn't like to be left in a cage, especially not puppies. Get the pup an outside compound so they have room to actually move.

Both will end up dead. The mma fighter will bleed to death but he will choke the dog to death before he die.
