Crate training is the BEST thing anyone can do for themselves and their dog. It makes it easier if they ever have to stay overnight at a vet, going to the groomers (which is a lifetime commitment for yorkies), or staying with your petsitter. My Boy does sleep in the bed, but he was crate-trained from dat one until he was mostly potty trained, then he was allowed in the bed with me. So to answer you, yes it is OK. Make the crate a happy place for her with blankets, toys she loves, and everytime you put her in it, give her a treat so she knows that "hey, this crate ain't so bad!" Good luck when you get her and congrats on the new baby! Also, welcome to YT!
