I truly never believed a pup/dog should be in a crate. To me that was cruel until I got my last 2 yorkies. They each have their own crate and they love it. The only time they are in there is to sleep, when we go out and when we eat (so they don't beg as my hubby is a pushover for slipping treats).

I can go out and not worry what my babies are getting into, chewing or gosh only knows with those two. When I tell them it is time to go to bed, they run to their crates.

The only difference I made compared with others is my crates are really big. I have them in 24 wide by 36 long. This way they have a little room and they have never had an accident in them.

So would I crate another dog - you bet, they love "their space".
