Bella only goes into her crate when we have to go out or I am busy and can't pay attention to her. I would give her a treat and she would go in. I would always pick her up, tell her Mommy loves her, give her a kiss and tell her we had to go out for a while and she would be fine. Now whenever she sees me put on my coat or get the car keys, she goes in by herself. I never put her in her crate to punish her. I always leave the crate door open and lots of times she will go in by herself and curl up in her bed and go to sleep. |
