I have a wire crate I'm using. I have a smaller carrier but it just has small holes on the sides. I put her bed in it and a toy dog she plays with sometimes.
She's been doing well. I lure her in with her food and I can actually close the door now and leave the room for 15 minutes. I worked up to that and she's doing well. I work with her often throughout the day. I tried covering the crate like I read to do but she isn't having it. She wants to see what's going on.
I have her crated now and she's whined alittle. I told her to lay down and now she's sleeping. If she continues to wake up I'm going to move the crate beside my bed. Right now she's in my bedroom but she can't see me.
I'm just happy she's doing so well. Things have gone better than expected!
