My Emily Kate loves her crate. I keep it in the kitchen with the door open. When she is tired or sleepy or just wants to be alone she goes there. We have made it like it is her space. It is a safe place for her to go and no one will bother her. We never remove her from her crate. She can stay there uninterrupted as long as she chooses. Emmy will take her favorite toys and even her clothes into the crate and put them in a pile. She prefers to sleep there rather than with me. The door is open so she can come out when she wants. My other yorkie, Alyssa, hates the crate. She thinks of it as punishment. Alyssa prefers to sleep in bed with me. |
