Default Fixing Mesh Crates

Any way to repair the mesh door of my crate? Madigan learned to unzip it. So
I fastened the zipper so it couldn't be moved. She ripped it up trying.

I thought dogs loved the crates sooooo much they never would want to break
out, after all the crates are a "safe place".

My dogs beds are a "safe place" but they don't have doors and the dogs love
them, coz they can come and go as they please, just as they can go in &
outside the house through the doggy door 24/7, my dogs are fine, no whining,
no barking, no nuthin, I trust them coz I trained them, why on earth would I
ever crate them?

That's great.

However, not everyone has dogs that are housebroken, don't get in the trash,
chew the furniture, chew the walls, uplift the linolium, or otherwise wreak
havoc while their owners are away, and regardless of whether or not the dog
has a "safe place" that they can retreat to, it does not make it easier for
the dog to digest something that will result in a blockage.

Furthermore, some people have dogs that cannot be trusted alone together, in
which case a crate can be a safer alternative for the owners. Or have
breeds that are more strongly prone to either "pack mentality" or "kill the
little furry running thing" mentality, another instance in which it is
easier to put the dog in the crate than find the cat, let alone put the cat
somewhere it'd rather not be.

Sarcasm, I assume.

I use crates for travel and benching at agility trials. Unlike
yours, my dogs aren't at home 24/7.
