Here is a great sticky with all kinds of info to read http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tra...nt-advice.html
Let me add that Pebbles was crated as a puppy and for a while I took her crate away. About 6 months ago I decided to purchase a new crate and she jumped right back into it. When I saw how much she missed her crate I actually felt bad that I had taken it away. |
Thanks! I've read that thread like 4-5x and I don't recall it ever mentioning cages. Anywho, thanks for the response. I already have one of my t-shirts in there. Guess I'll start dropping a couple treats in there from time to time too.
