She might find it totally comforting to have her own den. I think it would be terribly difficult to try and train her without one.

Also, she probably doesn't have any "bad" memories of the puppy mill. It's what she was used to. Although her circumstances are much better now in terms of her health and well being, it will take a bit for her to become accustomed to the new routine. Nothing's been expected of her before.

That's a good point.
