My babies have crates for bedtime and when I can't keep my eyes on them (like while cooking). Chloe is 22wks and Milo is 12wks. We just got Milo last Thursday and he goes in and out of his crate at his leisure. I keep the doors open all day, and only shut them when I leave or at bedtime. They love having a place of their own (it's like their ancient ancesters, the wolves, who lived in caves).
When it starts getting late, Chloe will go to her crate and bark! It's like she is telling me...I want to go to bed!!!
Chloe is almost completely housebroken, Milo has had one accident since I picked him up. He is catching on so quick!
