| When I first got Hallie she had been kept in a small plastic carrier 24 hours a day. I was really worried about her and a metal cage but she loves it! It took awhile for Simon to adjust but he likes it too. Maybe give her some more time to adjust or try putting an article of yours in there with her like a tshirt. That might help her. |

| I'd try the cage awhile longer, Bailey doesn't mind his at all, I have fluffy furry pads and a blanket and lambswool mat,, it's so comfy looking I wanna crawl in sometimes.

| yeah we just have a towl down in it, the thing is it is constently in our bed room and never in the living room. so i'm thinking about moving it into the living room while she is playing and back to bed room when its time to sleep. I was also reading some training tips i may try w/her.

| It might take her awhile, but I would stick with it. Goodluck with the training!

| You could try putting a blanket over the wire crate. It's the only way Pixie will sleep in hers, she doesn't like the open air concept of the wire, she prefers a cozy den! I've seen some places that sell covers just for this purpose (Google "Wire Dog Crate Covers"). But the small throw blanket works well enough. I like my wire crate because it folds down flat for easy travel, where I find the plastic crates can be a bit cumbersome to drag along (even if you disassemble it). It's nice to bring along if we're going to a friends for the afternoon or spending the night somewhere. That way she has her own familiar space to retire to if she wants to take a nap or just get away for a bit. |

| You might want to try putting a towel or sheet or top to block the light some. That worked for mine. They love looking out, but it still gives that "cave" feel.
