Luger no longer needs to be crated. He is absolutely fabulous with his smaller roommates, he plays very gently and if they are being petted and loved on while he's taking a nap, he is up in a flash and will muscle right in for his fair share. He never begs for people food, actually I think he feels the kitchen is just to warm for him. He loves taking walks on a leash and is very good too. He comes when he is called and only barks when someone strange is in the neighboring backyards, then he only needs to be told that "it's alright boy", and he comes for reassuring pats. He is great on car rides, but would rather walk.
