Crate placement should be in the middle of the family activity - we kept ours in the family room - with another one in the bedroom with us.
Bailey never really liked the crate - and after potty training we put them up.
She follows me around everywhere and she is def. a lap dog - but she is also VERY independent. She will only allow pets and lovin's on her terms. Oddly, she only allows lovins in the morning when I'm getting ready for work - she demands to be held. Other times - she's just too busy for me until she's ready for a nap on my lap.
