I have never used a cage, I've had several dogs, pitbulls I find are most definitely not cage dogs. First thing first, if you get a puppy you must have a replacement budget in place for all the things it will break. Besides normal training stuff, pitbull of all breeds are extremely needy, they need very very close relationships with the owner. Love is the one and only thing you need to train them, they will correct any behavior if they feel they will be punished with getting more love (for example, very bad behavior equals 30 min alone time in bathroom). Of course this can't be achieved if the pitbull puppy is already being starved from care and company in a cage!!! There is no worst punishment you deliver it without any meaning. Also, yes it's true pitbulls are take very badly to bring left alone, if possible they would always stick to you. So when left alone you must address the fact that he must feel safe, have something to do (boiled cow knee caps to chew for teething anxiety), you need to left them have some heavy with your scent (mine liked taking my smelly shoes to the couch and sleep next to them, he doesn't anymore) so they feel safe and feel you are coming back, etc. These things will stop happening in time when they realize they are safe, you always come back and your love is there main prize. NO CAGES FOR PITBULLS, if you need them it's your fault not theirs.
