I agree with the other posters.
i would also recommend walking her be4 bed.
it help speed up that bed process.
Train her. just the basics like sit, stay, shake etc.
it helps her see you as the pack leader. a lot of the time when a dog thinks she in charge it will always try to keep an eye in her pack and raise heck when there gone.
do you put her in the crate or does she walk in? try giving her some incentive (hide a treat or two with her fave toy) something to distract her while your placing the blanket over her crate (wink)
put something of yours old shirt sock with your sent.
keep he in the crate at other time as well keep the crate door open a allow her to choose to go in the crate and treat her when she does remember the crate should be a fun thing
