Both my dogs are crate trained. They stay in their individual crates during the day when I am away and bedtime. Believe it or not, they love their crates! Tater often hangs out in his when he is tired or afraid. It's like his den and it's a safe haven. They of course have a big fluffy pillows to lay on. Some people feel bad about caging them but dogs have a den-instinct which the crate helps satisfy. He pretty much sleeps all day regardless if I am here or not so it's just nice to know he is safe and not getting into anything. |
