Hi,

I want to crate train Punkin. She will be 3 in April. I want to be able to pop her in the crate when people come over. She is over protective and I'm pretty sure if I let her loose she would bite someone. After she meets someone 5-6 times she loves them and gets excited, but during the initial meetings I'm terrified. A crate would not solve the problem, but would keep her safe in the meantime.

Any crate training tips for dogs who are older and used to having the run of the house?

Thanks!
